"War nickels" were minted from an alloy of silver, copper, and manganese because nickel was a strategic metal. These coins are easily identified by the large mint mark over the dome of Monticello, including the first use of "P" for Philadelphia.
Because of the large number of combinations of dates, mint marks, and varieties among these nickels it's difficult to give a concise value. On average, their silver content (1.75 gm) means they're worth at least $1 (as of 03/2010) at retail, but some are worth several times that depending on mint mark and condition.
