To the OP, and others; in 1942 Philadelphia minted both "normal" composition and silver nickels. They are referred to as Type 1 and Type 2. Just putting this out there in case, or when you see a '42 with no mint mark. |

Nice finds! and  with whats posted. 1942-1945 w/large P or S mint mark above monticello are 35% silver. Some 1942 (denver) are not silver but are silver in 43,44,45. All 43-45 had silver. A standard nickel is 25% nickel and 75% copper. Silver are 56% copper, 35% silver, and 9% manganese. 0.05626 troy ounce silver. Nickels can have value beyond just the silver by the way such as from a high quality condition. 1938 to 1964 mint mark located to right of monticello on the back except 42-45 as you now see the large mint mark on those above monticello. 1965-1967 had no mint mark. 1968-2004 slightly clockwise on front after date. In 2005 under liberty. 2006 plus under the date. 1980 and back philadelphia (P) have no mint mark on them except the wartime nickels so dont expect to find other P's in later dates before then. There are all kinds of cool errors in nickels, for example here is a 1944-P Jefferson nickel struck on a pre-war copper-nickel planchet by mistake  Edited by datadragon

Do you has a photo of this Louisiana? Interesting this. Thanks. In 2004 and 2005 the mint created special reverse design nickels - 2 on each year. 2004 it was the Keelboat also called Lewis and Clark and the Peace Medal also called the Louisiana Purchase nickels. 2005 it was American Bison and Ocean in View nickels. As a group - it was the "Westward Journey" nickels https://cointrackers.com/coins/1483...in%20series.Edited by Dearborn

Normal strike. Very circulate and environment damage. Not a big MM as 42-45

Silvio, I think you may be a teensy bit confused.
The OP started out asking about a large MM wartime nickel, then later on stated that they also found a 'Louisiana Purchase' nickel too - but these don't have a large MM
