Dearborn Moderator United States 96250 Posts	Posted 07/17/2023 3:18 pm This is a very well worn Denver minted nickel, and no, this is not a 35% silver coin, they were only minted from 1942 to 1945 (WWII nickels) Collecting since 1972.

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19159 Posts	Posted 07/17/2023 3:32 pm Not a silver coin. Piece has suffered from post-strike damage, which includes a copious amount of environmental degradation. And yes, has a D mint mark. Report this Post to the Staff

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8751 Posts	Posted 07/17/2023 7:46 pm Crater, you are not the first and won't be the last to think this. Many think that nickels follow the same rules as U.S. coins like dimes, quarters and halves, that were minted before 1965, they do not. As mentioned above, the only silver nickels were the " War Nickels" and they are 35% silver instead of the 90% silver coins I have mentioned above. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
