A Nickel is worth 5 cents :)
A nickel is worth 5 cents, so you would need to take a set of metal cutters and snip off one-fifth of a nickel to be worth a cent.
No. Any cent plated with nickel was altered outside of the mint. That makes it a damaged coin worth 1 cent only.
It depends on which three cent coin you have. If you have a three cent nickel (picture of liberty on the front, roman numeral III on the reverse) it is worth about $5-20. If you have a three cent silver however (star with a shield on the front, and roman numeral with a C and III on the reverse) it is quite rare and worth a couple hundred to a couple thousand depending on the condition.
