A humble find, but my first! Does this qualify as silver?

'43 War Nickel - deep. Found it in the same hole with 2 wheaties. Came out shiny like any other silver. 35%, right? Can I get a consensus here? Does this qualify as a silver find?

39% silver! Congrats! Definitely counts as a silver find!

 

[Pointman]

Yep

 

[JunkShopFiddler]

Absolutely! No coin is 100% silver.

Its only 35% silver but it counts as silver. Plus you get some bonus manganese. Is there full steps on the Monticello?

 

[jewelerguy]

yes it counts for sure. I haven't dug a war nickel in many years, so I'm jealous
