unless it is something that is extremely rare, it probably isn't worth much more than 50 cents or a dollar, but that is just my guess

Condition is the determining factor. These coins were still in circulation during the 1950s and are often found in poor or fair condition. The ones I typically see I would buy for a quarter or sell for 50 cents. However, if you can still read part of “Liberty” on Miss Liberty’s headband, it should grade at least Very Good and retail for about $3. If it was removed from circulation back in 1908 and properly stored, it could grade as Mint-State 60 and have a value of approximately $80. And, if it is a perfectly flawless coin, struck by a new die on a perfect blank and never touched, it could command a premium price over $2000.

Your 1908 nickel is called a Liberty head nickel by collectors. Your nickel is far from scarce since, 22,686,177 were minted. Lets see if I can help you grade your coin.If it has at least 3 letters in liberty on the head band then it is a very good and sells for about $3.00. If all the letters in liberty show then it is a fine and sells for about $5.00. If the liberty is real bold and that includes the letter I, then it is a very fine and sells for about $12.00. If the liberty is bold and the corn grains at bottom of wreath show, on the reverse of the coin, it is then extra fine and sells for about $30.00. these are retail prices you would get 40 to 50% less from a dealer. Hope this helps.

You actually have a Liberty Head nickel if it's from 1908.
It's value is anywhere from $32 - $7200 USD depending on metal content and condition.
