I have some 1964 nickels and I'm wondering if they are made of silver. I know that some older coins are silver, but I'm not sure about these specific nickels. Can anyone tell me if 1964 nickels are silver?

One significant factor was the coin shortage that the U.S. was experiencing at that time.

Specifically, the 1964 Jefferson Nickels have a composition of 75% copper.
