The only US coin ever made with the roman numeral V (5) on the reverse was the Liberty Head Nickel 1883-1912 and the word CENTS is below the wreath and has no silver it's made from copper and nickel.Most coins show heavy wear an have low retail values of $1.00-$3.00.
That coin is a three-cent nickel (there is also a smaller coin which was also worth 3 cents but struck in silver and is generally called a three-cent silver). Depending on condition your coin can be worth anywhere from about a dollar to about 5 dollars if it is circulated.
A 1912 dime, specifically the Barber dime, features a profile of Lady Liberty on the obverse and an eagle with a wreath on the reverse. The coin is made of 90% silver and 10% copper, giving it a distinctive silver color. The edge is smooth, and the diameter is 17.91 mm. The date "1912" is prominently displayed on the obverse, just below Liberty's neck.

If it has a mintmark it's on the reverse below the wreath.
