How much is a silver nickel with the liberty on the front and a v on the back?

The value of your Liberty Head Nickel will vary from about 10 cents for one that is so worn as to be unable to determine the date, to thousand of dollars for a high grade uncirculated example of one of the rarest dates. This nicke is not actually silver -- unless somebody silver plated it, making it worthless. It is made of a copper/nickel alloy.
