It's worth about a dollar, just for the silver.

That is a "war nickel". War nickels minted between 1942-45 are identified with a large P, D, or S above the Monticello on the back. These nickels are 35% silver, and so have a definite value. The idiot who says they're worth "about 5 cents" is stupid.

A 1944 nickel is not particularly valuable. Most 1944 nickels in circulated condition are worth face value, while those in uncirculated condition may have a higher collector's value but are still relatively common and not considered rare.
