To tally or not to tally, that is the question

[MNDigger]

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 :thinkingabout: :thinkingabout: :thinkingabout:

 

[Cheap Thrills]

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 . :yes:

 

[xzlr8n]

Worth as much as a silver dime. Have to count em!!!

 

[zrickkid]

I count them too. Why not they do have 40% silver so why treat them like the b@stards of the coin world? oke: You still have to find em and dig em up dont you?

This is a old but goody! I don't count mine in my total either :dontknow:

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:huh:

Cheers,

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.

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
