None. 1942-1945 were the only years silver was used to make nickels.
It's a very common date nickel that's still occasionally found in circulation. This date does not contain any silver and is only face value.
US nickels made from 1866 to mid-1942 and from 1946 to the present are made of a copper-nickel alloy, not silver. 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. Because dimes, quarters, and halves contained silver up till 1964 many people erroneously believe that nickels did, too. But after all, the coin is called a nickel because it's partly made of nickel!
All U.S. nickels from 1866 to 1941 are made from 75% copper & 25% nickel. From Oct 1942 through 1945 the nickel in the coin was replaced with silver. In the 1946 the composition went back to copper-nickel.
No, US nickels do not contain silver. They are made from a combination of copper and nickel, with a composition of 75% copper and 25% nickel.
