The following reaction will occur
Copper will displace silver to form copper nitrate and silver
Cu(s) + 2AgNO3(aq) ---------> Cu(NO3)2(aq) + 2Ag(s)
Lead will displace copper to form lead nitrate and Copper
Pb(s) + Cu(NO3)2(aq) ---------> Pb(NO3)2(aq) + Cu(s)
Zinc will displace lead to form zinc nitrate and lead
Zn(s) + Pb(NO3)2(aq) ---------> Zn(NO3)2(aq) + Pb(s)

The more reactive metal (the first one mentioned in each case) will displace the less reactive one from their nitrate salts. You will see the less reactive metals grow as crystals slowly on the surface of the more reactive ones.
