i hate to be the one to bring the bad news, but if the coin in the picture is the "war nickel" you found, it isn't...

Sure wartime nickels were minted from 1942-1945, but in the year 1942, they made regular nickels(the one pictured above) and wartime nickels...
A war nickel can be determined by spotting a LARGE mintmark(P, D or S) above the dome on the back of the nickel... note: 1942D nickels are not war nickels.

on the bright side, 1942 is a harder year to come by even if it isn't silver!

That was my point on my reply of "denied". As in, "I thought it was "war nickel #3", but I was 'denied' because it was a pre-silver '42".....Sorry I didn't make that clear, I'm well versed in the history of the war nickels, as they (and Buffs) are my favorite regular circulation coins...there I go trying to be funny again...:BangHead:
