If I have one dollar face in Constitutional dimes, I have .714 ounces of silver ($1/1.4). If i have $1 face in nickels, I have 1.125 ounces of silver (.05625 per coin x 20). Am I missing something here/screwed up on things? All of the Constitutional coins are sold by dollar of face value online.
Consider the following based on the assumption that the coins used as an example are uncirculated and have full minted silver content.
A war nickle has a silver content of.05626 ounces. A dollar worth of war nickles (20 nickles) would total 1.1252 ounces of silver.
A 90% silver dime has a silver content of .0723 ounces. A dollars worth of 90% silver dimes (10 dimes) would total .723 ounces of silver.
One would naturally assume, looking at just the math, that if one was buying strictly by face value and prices being the same, buying war nickles would give you more silver. However, if we look at JD billions website, we can see that 90% Jefferson dimes are being sold at $28.25 for 10 dimes. That's 28.25 per dollar face value. On the other hand, war nickles are being sold at $34.45 for 20, that's 34.45 per one dollar face value.
We can not buy war nickles at the same price per face value because of the silver difference you pointed out. Thanks for watching!

I recently subscribed and have been enjoying your content. I have been collecting war nickels for a few months. I love their story. I don't believe Denver minted any war nickels (35% silver) in 1942. Philly minted type 1 (clad) and type 2 (35% silver war nickels) in 1942. I think San Francisco only minted war nickels (35% silver) and no clad in 1942. All three mints produced war nickels in 1943-1945. Please fact check me on this. Like I said, I only started collecting war nickels recently.
Thank you very much for your comment and for correcting some info not clarifued very well at all by me, i greatly appreciate you taking the time to do so!
Denver did indeed mint war nickles in 1942 and those in uncirculated condition sell for as much as $1350. However, you are correct, these were composed of cooper and nickle, 13,938,000 were minted.
The 1942-P Jefferson Wartime Silver nickle was the first U.S. coin to feature the "P" Philadelphia mint mark, which was used to indicate "silver" issues. The "P" is prominently displayed above Monticello on the reverse of the coin. 1942 was also the first year that "silver Wartime nickels" were minted, and the first year that nickels were made of 56% copper, 35% silver, and 9% manganese instead of 75% copper and 25% nickel.
I think you were referring to the 1942 proofs...In 1942 the Mint struck 2 different Proof Jefferson Nickels. The Type 1 Clad version and the Type 2 Silver version. The Type 1 does not have a "P" mint mark. While the Type 2 Silver does have a "P" mint mark
I wish I could find a 1942 Denver in "uncirculated" condition in my pocket change! Again, really enjoying your content.
