As of 10/2015, war nickels sell for about $1 in average condition.

Prices for coins in better condition vary a lot depending on date, mint mark, and amount of wear. There's specific information at the questions "What is the value of a <year> US nickel?", for years 1942 through 1945.

War nickels are worth more than other nickels of that era because they were made of an alloy of 56% copper, 35% silver, and 9% manganese due to wartime metal shortages. They can be identified by a large mint mark letter over the dome of Monticello on the back.

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