Well... it's at least $0.05! =) In mint condition, I've seen them on eBay for up to 80.00 but normally around $20. Those that have been in circulation might be worth around $2 if it's not too beat up. As well, the Victory Nickel was re-issued in 2005 but the new one has a round edge. Good Luck.
If there were such a coin, it would be priceless. But all nickels except the famous WWII "war nickels" are made of cupronickel, and don't contain any silver. Nickels from the early 1960s are quite common and have no added value.
Ok, so i have a good condition nickel from 1946. The head has few small scratches as well as a few minor dents. The backside picture is slightly worn down but all the words are readable. It's considerably shiny for an old coin. Does anyone know its worth?

Pre-Jefferson nickels are usually worth at least a bit more than face and proof or uncirculated nickels also give you a premium. ------ Many nickels are worth more than "face" value, For example - ALL of the Liberty Head nickels are worth more than face (they were minted from 1883 to 1912) Then came the buffalo nickels - Virtually all of those are worth more than face. After the buffs came the Jefferson nickel. In addition to the "war nickels" (as stated above) there are "key date" Jefferson nickels that are worth more than face. To list a few examples...the 1950D (Denver mint) is a rare (key) date and is worth around 10 to 20 dollars on eBay. Also the 1939D is a key - it sells for around 10 dollars on eBay...depending on condition. In mint state these coins can bring 100 dollars plus. To sum it up. as many Jefferson nickels are worth more than face, it would be difficult to list them all. The easiest way would be for you to ask us here about a specific date. Make certain to include the mint mark (if any) and a rough idea of condition. Or just get a coin value book at the library ( the Red Book) or look it up on eBay as to approximate the selling value.
