Just like all the others but the color is different and all of them have large mintmarks on the reverse above the dome of Monticello. They were struck from late 1942 through 1945.
Average circulated, about $22
About $1.90 or so for the silver content. Keep in mind though that for low purity coins like war nickels, most coin dealers offer substantially less than spot on them.
Just going by silver content, they're worth about $2 each.
It is an American nickel made of copper, silver and manganese during World War 2.
What you actually have is a counterfeit nickel, known as a Henning nickel. This isn't a war nickel, but instead was a counterfeit nickel created in the mid-1950s, there is a thriving collectors market for them. I've attached a link with more information about the Henning nickels.
July 25, 2009 The value of a circulated Jefferson war nickel is based mainly upon the value of the silver they contain which is $0.78 today. In uncirculated collector coins the values vary greatly with the year and mint mark. To establish an estimated value for an uncirculated Jefferson war nickel, the year and mint mark must be known.
It is known as a "war nickel" and actually contains no nickel! But it is 35% silver and is worth about $1.25 for the silver content.
Values for a circulated war nickel are $1.00-$2.50 depending on the grade
No such coin. Buffalo Nickels are very different from war nickels. Buffalo (or Indian Head) nickels were struck from 1913-1938. The Jefferson nickel series started in 1938 but in the years of WW II nickel was needed for the war effort so the government replaced the nickel with silver in the Jefferson nickels from late in 1942 to 1945 creating what is now called "War Nickels" these coins are identified by large mint marks on the back of the coin above the dome of Monticello. The Jefferson nickel returned to the prewar composition in 1946 and is the same today.
The United States five cent Jefferson nickel is composed of 75 percent copper and only 25 percent nickel. Since a Jefferson nickel weights 5.0 grams, there is 1.25 grams of nickel metal in the five cent piece.
1913-1938 are the years the us mint minted "buffalo" nickel's.. Only Jefferson nickels were minted in 1943. 1943 nickel is usually called a "War Nickel" (minted during war time w/ silver) Hope I didn't confuse the question...
World War II nickel coins, specifically the 1942-1945 Jefferson nickels, feature Thomas Jefferson on the obverse and Monticello on the reverse. These coins are notable for their 35% silver content, as they were produced to conserve copper for the war effort. Their value can vary based on condition and mint mark, with silver versions generally worth more than their face value, typically ranging from a few dollars to over $20. Collectors often seek them out, especially in better condition or with rare mint marks.
Buffalo nickels stopped being minted in 1938. If you're referring to a '44 Jefferson war nickel, then it contains 35% silver.
No Buffalo nickels were struck in silver, only the Jefferson "War Nickels" from 1942 to 1945 have any silver in them.
Average circulated, about $22
The "War Nickels" were struck from late 1942 to 1945. The 1941 issue is not silver, still found in circulation and only face value
Only the war years of 1942-1945 have silver. All Jefferson Nickels from 1938 to mid-1942 and 1946 to date are made of 75% copper and 25% nickel.
