Best Answer

These coins were the only US nickels that ever contained silver. The amount is small (less than 2 gm) so in worn condition the coins are worth around a dollar for their metal content.

If the coin is in better condition, check its date and see the question "What is the value of a <date> US nickel?" for more information about prices.

What is the value of a silver war time buffalo nickel?

Buffalo Nickels are very different from war nickels. Buffalo (or Indian Head) nickels were struck from 1913-1938 and were only ever made from a copper-nickel alloy. The Jefferson nickel series started in 1938 and has been made of the same copper-nickel alloy except during WW II (1942-45). Then the coins were struck in a silver alloy because nickel was needed for the war effort. Please determine what the date is on your coin and whether it has an Indian Head on the front or a picture of Thomas Jefferson. Then post a new question in the form "What is the value of a &lt;date&gt; US nickel?" in the box at the top of the page and click the GO button. &lt;date&gt; is of course the year shown on your nickel.


What is a buffalo war nickel?

No such coin. Buffalo Nickels are very different from war nickels. Buffalo (or Indian Head) nickels were struck from 1913-1938. The Jefferson nickel series started in 1938 but in the years of WW II nickel was needed for the war effort so the government replaced the nickel with silver in the Jefferson nickels from late in 1942 to 1945 creating what is now called "War Nickels" these coins are identified by large mint marks on the back of the coin above the dome of Monticello. The Jefferson nickel returned to the prewar composition in 1946 and is the same today.
