Depends on the nickel. From 1942 to 1945 "nickels" were 35% silver, as nickel was a strategic metal in short supply.Nickles are not silver so rarely worth squat.
Only the nickels that have the mint mark on back, located just above Monticello are the silver alloy ones. They aren't worth much though.Depends on the nickel. From 1942 to 1945 "nickels" were 35% silver, as nickel was a strategic metal in short supply.

The 40% silver coinage only applies to the Kennedy half dollars. There were also 40% silver Eisenhower dollars produced after that up until 1972, I believe. I'm not an expert on this stuff but I have collected coins since I was a kid and my info is just from memory. I think I have it right though.Pre 64' or "junk silver" as its called is 90% silver and sold on most of the metal sites by the bag.
Rule of thumb that I've seen is that every combination of $1.40 contains an ounce of silver. This is dimes, quarters and half dollars. No nickels...
If I have it right, the US Mints dropped the numbers down to 40% silver from 65' to 69'. You can also purchase this by the bag to and I think it is seen as a bartering tool for when the SHTF.
Found this regarding nickels...kinda interesting.
"During the course of World War II, the United States placed strict limitations on the use of precious metals stateside. Any and all metals and alloys that could be diverted to the war effort were removed from circulation and used to produce tanks, planes, and guns. The 35% US Silver War Nickels contains no nickel because the alloy was removed for use in war production. Each of these nickels contains 56% copper, 35% silver, and 9% manganese. The nickels were minted between 1942 and 1945, and were removed from circulation following the war."
