coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/07/2022 11:57 am Silver tarnishes. Thus it is that color. How do we know it is a War Nickel? But the Mintmark over the building: The type 2 are silver on the 1942-1945 nickels. They have a silver melt value for these. You will see all three mints on these War Nickels. Depending on condition of the coin, they will be either a collectable or a melt value coin.
