"War nickels" were issued from late 1942 through 1945. They were made of an alloy of 56% copper, 35% silver, and 9% manganese because nickel metal was needed for the war effort. Both the regular type and the silver type were issued in 1942. All the silver nickels have a large mint mark (P, S, or D) over the dome of the Monticello on the reverse.
Each coin contains 1.75 gm of silver. Because the price of silver is highly variable, the best that can be said is that their melt value is about 0.05 times the price of one troy ounce of pure silver.
