What is the value of a 1959 sliver nickel?

The value of a 1959 silver nickel depends on its condition and rarity. In general, 1959 silver nickels are worth more than their face value due to their silver content. The melt value of a 1959 silver nickel is currently around $0.65.

However, some 1959 silver nickels can be worth significantly more than their melt value. For example, a 1959 silver nickel in uncirculated condition can be worth up to $100. And a 1959 silver nickel with a special mint mark, such as the "D" mint mark, can be worth even more.

If you have a 1959 silver nickel, it is worth having it appraised by a professional coin dealer to determine its exact value.
