The only US nickels to contain silver are those minted during WWII. A 1959 nickel in uncirculated condition might go for 25 cents.
A 1959 NICKEL is still worth 5 cents only.
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.
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
