First (technically silver) silver coin!!!

[Mobius1]

1945 S war nickel! I was in awe to look at this coin. I think it has a really nice tone to it compared to other nickels that I dig up. After 2 years of detecting I finally got my silver though and I am one happy guy. Let's hope there's more to come.

Count it as silver - due to their low mintage they're are a much rarer find than a lot of other 20th century silver. Congrats!

A lot more unique silver to me because of the history behind it. Love finding them.

I like finding those silver nickels. I find one just often enough to make me feel like I'm not wasting my time digging those "nickel" signals.

Love the way they sort of shine up at ya, you know right away that it's a special nickel.

I've only found 2 and they both made me smile

Congrats on the Silver war nickle ! War Nickels are not only Silver,
But Historically Special

They are cool to find, but I guess a few friends and I who have hunted since the early 70s must be the only folks who consider them nickels, not silver.

My first silver was a war nickel. But what I can't understand is why someone would want to degrade the joy of a persons first silver find.

Seriously.. It took me over two years of metal detecting before finding the silver coin that in after. I even found a diamond ring, silver ring, buffalo nickel, and very old wheaties before finding a silver coin!! I mean what are the odds and people come to degrade the fact?? All jealous I'm guessing. Their first silver must've been 1964 Jefferson haha.
