Liberty Head (or "V") nickels never contained silver. Except for special "war nickels" minted from late 1942 to 1945, all US nickels are made of the same alloy of 25% nickel and 75% copper.
War nickels were made of an alloy of 56% copper, 35% silver, and 9% manganese because nickel metal was needed for the war effort. These coins are distinguished by a large mint mark letter over the dome of Monticello on the back.
Liberty Head nickels can be worth anywhere from 2 or 3 dollars for a worn, late-date coin to several thousand for certain high-quality strikes. For specific values please see questions in the form "What is the value of a <date> US nickel?"
