I found a 1946-D Nickel in a bankroll. It's an old one for sure. But how many of those were minted that year? Any value?

Woodland Detectors said:My understanding is All buffalo nickels were struck in 75% copper, and 25% nickel ...They have all been like this except for the infamous " War Nickel" And then Later they were made of silver, copper, and manganese because nickel was an important compound used during the War.
