Please don't assume that because a coin is old it has to be made of silver. It's made of copper-nickel like all other nickels except the WWII ones with a large mint mark above the dome of Monticello.

1941 is not a rare date for Jefferson nickels. There's more information at the question "What is the value of a 1941 US nickel?".
