It does have about 1/4 ounce of silver in it, so it is currently worth about $3.50 melt value. There were almost 20 million of them minted, so it is not considered a rare date to collectors, so to be worth significantly more, it would have to be in gem uncirculated condition -- like it was just minted yesterday.
Yes, I have one.
at $34.50 price of silver spot, it is worth $12.25 approximately.
It's NOT a U.S. nickel. The coin is a 5 CENTAVOS coin dated 1944 from the Commonwealth of the Philippines issue. It has a average value of 25 cents.
The 1944 fifty centavos coin comes from the Philippines. Online sellers and collectors are valuing the coin at around 1 to 15 dollars, depending on the quality of the coin.

The Philippines was a territory of the United States from 1898 to 1945. Because of this, the 1944 series of 50 centavo coins was struckÊin the U.S. by the San Francisco Mint from 0.75 fine silver. The coin contains a grand total of 0.2411 oz of silver.
The US never made a "1 centavo filipinas" coin. The US makes cents not centavos. Mexico is one country that has used centavos. Try determining another country of origin.
The value of a US dime marked "ten centavos" is zero, since it is a fake. A real US dime is marked "one dime," not "ten centavos."
I have a 1939 M and its in ok shape and it runs around $3.50-$5.00. Depending on the shape it could run in up wards of $130-$150 if in uncirculated condition. So in general it is prob worth 3-5 bucks.
Please re-check your date ... there were none of these dated 1944
You are asking about a coin from the Philippines issued when it was a commonwealth administered by the United States. You would need to know the denomination (1,5,10, 20 and 50 centavo coins were produced in 1944), as well as the condition, in order to get an accurate value. Note that the 1 centavo coin is bronze, the 5 centavo coin is a copper-nickel-zinc alloy, and the 10,20 and 50 centavo coins are 75% silver.
First of all the US did not make 20 cents pieces in 1944. Also US coins do not say "Twenty centavos". So your coin is fake. Since it's fake it has no collector value. However if the coin is made of silver it has a silver value.
