Question to my fellow swingers!????

Hey guys I dug up a 1945 war nickel in great shape today with a 1944 wheaty and clad totaling $4.19 today!

Does the 1945 war nickel count as finding silver,as it's 38% silver in it?

Keep on swinging and HH

I count War Nickels as Silver.

It's silver in my book. Congrats!

Thx guys now I know! It's my 1st war nickel. I haven't found a buffalo nickel yet, but to me I rather find a war nickel with date in nice shape than finding a buffalo with no date! Just sayin...

War nickels currently have $1.11 worth of silver in them, so it definitely counts as silver in my book.

Great finds! Thanks for sharing...

I got one buddy who doesn't count them...

However, I always have.

Why not I'd certainly count a 40% Silver Half Dollar...so why not a 30-something% war nickel.


Silver in my book.

I never used to count them or even keep them, but the last few years Ive gotten a lot smarter, heck yea its silver

Silver is silver as far as I'm concerned, no matter what the percentage!
Congrats on your 'silver nickel' find!

Its silver. Harder to sell as junk silver though. At 35% silver per coin it's not as easy to off as a 90% dime. But dollar per dollar face value you get more silver in nickels.

I've never found one but I would say silver is silver.

 

[Duckswife]

Yes

If it's shiny out of the ground it counts. At least at my house.

 

[Msbeepbeep]

Yep, silver!
