The only US nickels to contain silver are those minted during WWII. A 1959 nickel in uncirculated condition might go for 25 cents.
SILVER, not "sliver", and in any case all 1959 nickels are made of an alloy of 75% copper and 25% nickel. From mid-1942 to 1945 nickels did contain a small amount of silver because nickel metal was needed for the war effort. Those "war nickels" are the ONLY ones that have any silver in them.
A 1959 NICKEL is still worth 5 cents only.
If it's been circulated and shows wear, = five cents. They are common. If it's uncirculated, it might retail for 20 cents or so.
Maybe 30 cents. It's not a rare coin.
Retail value is $1.75-$2.25

It has an uncirculated value of about $1 to $15,000 depending upon the condition of the coin. Circulated values are less than a dollar.

There are no 1959 silver dollars made in the U.S. Only Ben Franklin half dollar coins were made this year. The value of a Ben Franklin half dollar ranges from less than $10.00 to approx. $17.50 in uncirculated mint condition.
Unless they are uncirculated or proofs coins made in 1959 to date have no extra value.
