Just the 1945 is silver. Silver nickles were minted from end of 1942 through 1945. 1946 resumed normal nickle production from nickel. You can tell a 1942 silver nickle from a 1942 nickle nickle by the mint mark. The silver nickles have a large mint mark over the dome of the building on the back (P for Phildelphia, D for Denver and S for San Fran). A normal 1942 nickle with not have any mint mark at all (Philadelphia) or to the very right of the building on the back, a D for Denver or S for San Fran. Hope this helps. And by the way, nice finds.

Just the 1945 is silver.? Silver nickles were minted from end of 1942 through 1945.? 1946 resumed normal nickle production from nickel.? You can tell a 1942 silver nickle from a 1942 nickle nickle by the mint mark.? The silver nickles have a large mint mark over the dome of the building on the back (P for Phildelphia, D for Denver and S for San Fran).? A normal 1942 nickle with not have any mint mark at all (Philadelphia) or to the very right of the building on the back, a D for Denver or S for San Fran.? Hope this helps.? And by the way, nice finds.

I guess I am warped, but years ago, I once solved a math problem. If you start with a penny at day one. And double that for 30 days, so that at day two you will have two cents and day three, four cent and day four, eight cents, and so on and so forth, at the end of a month, you'll be a millionaire. You already have day one, two and three done.
