Silver "war nickels" weigh 5 grams, which is the same amount as the normal cupronickel coins minted all other years since 1866.

War nickels were the only US nickels that ever contained silver. They were minted from mid-1942 to the end of 1945 to save nickel metal for use in the war effort. They were struck in an alloy of 35% silver, 56% copper, and 9% manganese.
