Both nickels were made in 42. If they have the smaller MM besides the Monticello they are 75%copper 25%nickel. Any with the large MM above the dome are the silver composition.
43'-45' were only struck on silver comp planchets.
I am seeing one with a P, and two copper nickel D MM Jeffs.

 

Thx I changed my edit

 

The only silver coin there is the P mint.

 

I'm confused. I see 2 pictures of the exact same Nickel.

 

…he’s edited his original post. By now all I see is one reverse pic with a Denver mm. What ever is left on top of the dome is gouges and contact marks.

Sorry, no S above the dome…imo…Spark

 

I'm confused............but that's normal.

 

On silver nickels the large P, D or S is the mint where they were minted. It’s an easy way to know it’s silver.

 

Unless it's a Henning nickel...

 

No Thank you. I ate already.

 

That is well circulated and looks like a standard alloy nickel. War nickels have a dark metallic look when circulated:

Small D mintmark aside.

 

True but I don’t collect those.
