As of 11/2015 US war nickels are worth 75 cents to a dollar in average condition. Coins in better condition can be worth $2 or more, depending on their date, mint mark, and the amount of wear.

War nickels were made from late 1942 to 1945 and can be identified by a large mint mark (P, D, or S) over the dome of Monticello. They're composed of 35% silver, 56% copper, and 9% manganese. Nickel was eliminated because it was needed for the war effort.

All other US nickels, regardless of date, are made of an alloy of 75% copper and 25% nickel.
