So-called "war nickels" struck from mid-1942 to 1945 are composed of 35% silver, 56% copper, and 9% manganese. Nickel was eliminated because it was needed for the war effort.
All other nickels are made of an alloy of 75% copper and 25% nickel. Each war nickel contains .05626 troy ounces of silver, so 18 of them will give you just a shade over 1 ounce of silver.
