I guess I never have counted them just because of the low silver content of war nickels. It is hard for me to call it a 'SILVER' coin when 65% of the coin is made up of copper and manganese. So if a coin only had 10% silver content it would be considered a silver coin too?
With the price of silver now,,,I'm gonna count em,,,,,,,I only find 1-3 war nicks per year anyway
I can only please one person per day,,,today is not your day,,,tomorrow isn't looking good either.
2011 silver coins> 18,,,,13 IH,,,,2 V nickels,,,2 Shield nickels
2010 silver coins >4,,,,the year that wasn't
2009 silver coins> 77> 49 IHs> 15 V nickels>9 Buffs
They do have silver in them ,they are not that easy to find and they were created for use during WW2 so I consider them as counting for a silver find .
Worth as much as a silver dime. Have to count em!!!

I count them too. Why not they do have 40% silver so why treat them like the b@stards of the coin world?You still have to find em and dig em up dont you?
Holy thread reserection Batman !! lol
This is a old but goody! I don't count mine in my total either
Not that I find a whole bunch of'em anyway lol I think I found 4 this past year and like 5 the year before
I do keep'em separate from the rest of the scummy clad nickles though lol

Since I found my first one last week at a tot-lot and because it's my first (older) coin...I'm counting it! A 1944 Nickle is a war nickle right

Yep, it should have a big letter P, D, or S above the dome on the back side. Plus the color is a bit different than a regular nickel.
Finding relics is in my blood

Its simple really... do you count 10K gold ?? Its only 41.7% gold...14k is 58.5% gold... and 18K is 75%...
Gold is GOLD!
Silver is SILVER!
Might me easier to just tally your silver in grams *shrug*
Silver war nickle is worth $1.83 right now... Silver dime is $2.36...
But all of this is my humble opinion :-)
2013 Totals: 4 Coppers 37 Silver Coins 18 Indian Heads 4 V Nickels 5 Buffalos 137 Wheaties 4 Sterling Items
