It depends on the wire gauge. See my answer to your other question -- with the wire gauge table.
You will have to determine what gauge wire you have, but the table will have diameter (which you can measure with a caliper) versus resistance for each standard wire gauge.

This is a very interesting question. I think others are missing the point. I believe what this individual is trying to ask is that if you plate copper wire with silver will the wire take on the more conducive properties of silver at less cost. Need the wire be solid silver? If you plated copper with silver about .001 of an inch it would be a relatively cheap process. Also you wouldn't have to use nickel. Silver will bond to copper quite well. Any Physics majors out there want to try to finger (figure) this one? I am a ME I'm not qualified to do the math on this one. However i can make a prototype!

The resistance caused by the magnetic field that forms in a wire when current is past through it
