    Welcome to COintalk! Part of 1968 is silver and there are Ottowa(silver and nickel) and Phillidelphia mints(nickel).You can tell by the reeding on the edge for mint. Everything else before is silver. 1969 has 3 known for lg. date and lg. ship, value very high, but only 3 known.

    Hi,

    Depends on the year. Prior to 1920 they were Sterling Silver (.925 fine) and worth about $1US in Silver.

    1920-1967 They were .800 Fine and are worth, as of today, 85c US each Melt.

    67-68 50% Silver (.500 fine) are worth $.52US each melt.

    1969+ are worth 10c CDN

    Obviously nice or key date ones are worth more than dead melt.
