The only 'S' mint nickels with silver are 1942-1945 with the mint mark above the Monticello. 1971 to present date 'S' nickels are proofs. no silver.

Also, there are S mint 1968-1970 proof nickels as well.

Most are circulation strikes, but there were proofs as well.

Some are silver, but you have to guess which ones are.



Only 42-45 nickels with the large mint mark are silver.

hey buffaloboy-my camera is only 3mp i dont think i can get good close ups.are there a particular ones you're looking for?

so the 42's with no mm overhead are just nickel composition?is that correct.

Correct

However, a 1942 with a small 'S' mintmark, while still CuproNickel, is worth six fugures.
