Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 11/15/2015 02:33 am Jefferson nickels were only made 35% silver in 1942-1945 during the war. They have not been made of silver since then. They might be silver plated by a 3rd party, but that is unlikely. Report this Post to the Staff

On the other hand, if it was (for some strange reason) a fake made out of aluminum, then it would be significantly lighter. aluminum coins are so light that they feel like fake pieces of plastic.

n9jig Pillar of the Community United States 997 Posts	Posted 12/06/2015 8:08 pm Sorry, it is not silver, it is just the regular copper-nickel allow that US nickels have been made of since the Civil war save for a couple years during WW2. Report this Post to the Staff
fyimo Valued Member United States 245 Posts	Posted 12/08/2015 1:08 pm Like others have said the only nickels with silver in them is the WWII War Nickels. I put together a set of just the War Nickels in high grade and it makes a nice short set of Jefferson nickels. Report this Post to the Staff
