What is the value of a 1944 US nickel?

Answer 1

Like all "war nickels" made from mid-1942 to 1945, 1944 US nickels contain a small amount of silver but no nickel because it was needed for the war effort.

Look on the back of the coin to see if there's a mint mark letter above the dome of Monticello. There will be a P, D, or S - the only time before 1980 that nickels used a P mint mark.

Numismedia lists the following approximate retail values as of 09/2011:

"P" mint mark (Philadelphia):

Very worn condition - $2.40

Moderately worn - $2.64

Slightly worn - $2.76

Almost no wear - $3.10

Uncirculated - $4.80 to $104.00 depending on quality

"D" mint mark (Denver):

Very worn - $2.40

Moderately worn - $2.64

Slightly worn - $2.76

Almost no wear - $3.60

Uncirculated - $5.40 to $2220.00

"S" mint mark (San Francisco):

Very worn - $2.40

Moderately worn - $2.64

DISCLAIMER: The retail values quoted are the best available as of the date shown, but may vary significantly due to changes in the precious metals market. Also the wholesale (buying) price of a coin will be less than the selling (retail) price. A reputable coin dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation based on inspection of the coin.
