<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cpm9ball, post: 1114603, member: 24633&quot;]Corey,</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The only nickels that contain any silver at all are the wartime nickels, 1942-1945. Nickel was needed for the war effort, so the composition was changed to contain 35% silver. It was originally planned that these nickels would be recalled at the end of WWII, so a large mintmark (P, D or S) was placed above the dome of Monticello to make it easy to spot them. However, they became instantly popular to collectors and non-collectors alike, and they were hoarded by the thousands. The recall never happened, but finding these in roll searches would be like finding a needle in a haystack.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Stick to halves, quarters or dimes.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
