My understanding is that all war nickels are Silver. I'm not really sure about this one but it looks to have remnants of maybe zinc plating. It's very hard to see but when I look at this through an eye loop it looks like maybe it's been struck by something else. Just wanted to get someones opinion. Hopefully the pictures are ok. Thanks in advance
