You have what is referred to as a Wartime nickel. It is composed of 35% silver, with the balance being copper and manganese. The silver gives it a "melt value" of about 95 cents (as of December 2009) regardless of condition. 1943S is among the more common of the wartime nickels, so your coin is probably worth about $2-$5 in nice circulated condition, and perhaps $10-$15 in Uncirculated condition.
