Possible post war silver nickel? I dug this the other day in the same place I dug the 1945 silver war nickel. Every nickel that comes out of the ground in my area, except war nickels, are red/rust colored (Especially the old nickels). Some are even black. This has the look and "sound" of my silver war nickels. Could it be possible a few post war silvers were minted? I have found no info online about possible post war silver nickels. It has no mint mark on the back...

Sent to me from Brian B.....:

There is no mint mark because the die for the reverse was changed, and I checked and the P mint mark was omitted and only D, and S, were used. Your nickle was minted in Philly, and the mint mark was moved from the top, to the right hand side of Monticello.

Weighing it won't help, war nickels and regular nickels weigh the same.
