1942 and 1942-D (with a normal mintmark) have the normal composition. 1942-P (with the large mintmark above the dome) and 1942-S (with the large mintmark above the dome) contain silver.

Yesterday I went through $300.00 worth of Brinks wrapped rolls. Not one War Nickel. The day before that I got 3. There are still alot of them out there, just gotta keep searching.

I don't usually search nickels, but today I picked up $10 worth and found a 45-S in the second roll. First War Nickel I have found in circulation in a long long long time.

Not bad considering you only bought the $10 worth. Congrats.

Exactly my point, unknown95.

All other nickels are dead to me. If I don't see that big beautiful mm, then it goes back to the bank.

Just kidding, I've got mad holes to fill.
