I think they're 35% silver right? So how much is that nickel worth, never mind, I just checked. Price is almost a buck fifty! Nice! $1.4735 is the rounded silver value for the 1942-1945 silver nickel on March 01, 2021. This is usually the value used by coin dealers when selling these coins at melt value.
Never a waist when you pay face value for some silver Even if it looks like a crud sandwich. But hey it cleaned up nicely!
