Based on numismatic information, a United States nickel from 1964 contains zero silver. The provided context is not relevant to this specific query.
A 1964 Jefferson nickel is composed of 75% copper and 25% nickel. This has been the standard composition for the five-cent piece for most of its history.
The confusion often arises from the special "war nickels" that were minted during World War II, from 1942 to 1945. To conserve nickel for the war effort, the U.S. Mint changed the coin's alloy to 35% silver, 56% copper, and 9% manganese. After the war, the composition reverted back to the copper-nickel alloy. Therefore, a nickel from 1964 does not have any silver content and its value is typically its face value unless it is in uncirculated condition.
