Only the silver war nickels have the large mint mark over Monticello. There are also non-silver 1942 nickels that have the standard mint mark for the D (No mint mark for Philadelphia).

That is correct. ONLY the silver ones will have the large mintmark above the monticello, and the silver ones will all have the large mintmark. Basically, if it has a large mintmark, it is silver (unless it is an error coins then it is worth some major bux), if it does not it is not silver.
