Most people tend to forget that Pennies and Nickels were used to make change for our Constitutional Silver… Twenty Nickels were equal to 1 Silver Dollar… By the way… Our Silver Coins will do 10 Times better than our Clad Coins…

That is good to hear, @pocketechange ! I have silver nickels as well!
The composition of nickels changed from 1942 to 1945, when silver was added to their metal content; the four-year period has been referred to as the silver nickel era. Specifically, it consisted of 56% copper, 35% silver, and 9% manganese.

35% Silver Nickels: 1942, 1943, 1944, 1945
