Description

The listing, 4 silver nickles and vile gold shavings has ended.

4 silver nickles 1948, (2)1942, 1964 and 1 vile of gold shavings

Questions & Comments

Nickels only contained silver from October 8th, 1942 to the end of 1945, and they are 35% silver. Known as war nickels. Do either of the 1942 nickels have the mint mark about Monticello(building) on the back of the coin?

hahaha... You look Mad as a junk yard dog holding the Nickel, But a Big 'Ole Smile holding the Gold... Funny. I have one of those Vials of Gold up for auction along with a Silver one. I bought several Thousand of the Gold a few years back off eBay, and the one Listed is the Last one. Price of Gold is way to high now in any form, so I'm not re-upping on the Gold. I used them for my arthritis, and added a vial to my morning coffee, Amazing what it does for arthritis and other ailments when taken on regular basis. Good Luck. (you shoulda started a little higher, but that's just me)

Thanks for the information I didn't know you could use that for arthritis if i knew that I would have kept it for mine.

1964 did not have silver did it?

Dec 2nd, 2012 at 10:52:40 AM PST by

some about 40%

Unlike US dimes and quarters, which stopped being made of 90% silver after 1964, the composition of a nickel has essentially been unchanged since the end of World War II. It is still a 5 gram coin that is an alloy of 75% copper and 25% nickel. (An aside: Some 1942 to 1945 five cent coins were made with 35% silver, because nickel was badly-needed for wartime industrial use. Those "War Nickels" have long since been culled from circulation, by collectors.)

According to www.Coinflation.com, the 1946-2011 Nickel (with a 5 cent face value) had a base metal value of $0.0733 in February, 2011. That was 146.7% of its face value. Because of the global recession and the fact that both nickel and copper are primarily industrial metals, the melt value of a nickel declined to just $0.0498 in June, 2012. But I predict that as inflation resumes--most likely beginning in 2013--the base metal value of nickels will rise substantially, regardless of the weakness in the industrial economy.
