at 2:02 I meant to say silver not copper 😂🤦🏽♂️ it happens... have you seen my video on silver dimes? check it out! th-cam.com/video/_LHzCWcNXrE/w-d-xo.html
Finally someone that knows what they are talking about. I am 62 and have been collecting silver since 1974. I have vaulted and insured outside Austin Texas over 6000 lbs of silver. Wish it was gold but that's another story. I have over 300,000 war nickels and drawers are tripping over themselves to buy mine when I say how many I have. I recently sold 12,000 at one time for 3 dollars over current spot. All over uou tube you see these guys saying war nickels are a waste of energy snd time. Bull. Nothing other than kilo bars and above can I buy as close to spot as war nickels. Go look they are sold out everywhere. Don't believe what all these supposed experts are saying they are a little tough to manage due to weight but as far as pure buying close to spot and being wanted by everyone you can't beat them. I hope I live up see silver make its great run I've waited 50 years. If not that's ok my two sons can enjoy it.
The current US admin pushing a digital dollar might push more citizens into hard assets including those nickels. I have a couple rolls stored here.. Hoping to leave my kids a bit more
You've got big points with easy recognition and lack of counterfeiting. My reason for war nicks, is that if there are ever currency problems, at current spot prices, a war nickel approximates $1 on barter. Everybody understands what a dollar is, and war nickels become de facto specie backed dollars for barter. The fact that they can be had under spot just adds to their allure.
Glad I came across this video! I love stacking war nickels and 40% halves. Any u.s. silver will become more rare as time goes on, bringing the price/premiums up! When I hit retirement age these will be well over 100 years old, a great long term investment for my family and me.
This is a FANTASTIC video whose time has come! I've been trying to explain to people how valuable war nickels are for stacking, and you did a great job of it. I can't think of a single point you missed. I will add that since they usually have a nasty feel to them, I give mine a light buffing so they look better and feel nicer to the touch. I used to be diametrically opposed to anything that wasn't 90% (except .999) until one day I really researched war nickels and now I have about 1,800 of them. I like them primarily for barter. They have 1/18 oz. silver as opposed to 1/14 oz. for the dime. Mine don't take up too much room. I store them in the big cloth coin bags. I'm thrilled to see this video out there. Great job, SD!
Great video. Yes, war nickels take up a lot of space, but well worth it. Just bought a $50 face value canvas bag of War Nickels from APMEX. I will put these at the bottom of my safe with the canvas bag of Pre-82 copper pennies. I love both the silver and copper content of war nickels. Magnesium adds to the greasy texture. Be well my friends and keep stacking. 😀😀😀
I have a 43 p that IS NOT 35 % silver... it has 35% silver plating...YES.. you better hope they aren't all this way or you got screwed...there is NO WAY POSSIBLE THAT 35% OF THIS COIN IS SILVER..
@@vonheltonscontradictions you’re just flat out wrong. The 9% manganese gives them an odd color but they are absolutely 35% silver. These have been around since WW2, and not insignificant numbers of them have since been melted down and refined. Bags of them have also, I’m sure, been weighed countless times now. If they did not actually contain 35% silver, someone else would have already discovered this decades ago. If you actually do have a 1943 that has been sent out, graded, and confirmed as not being 35% silver, you have an extremely rare error coin.
@Louis E yep I had to see why it was peeling ..so I took the Dremel to the worthless 43 P..and it's 35%.. just don't know why the outer surface was peeling
I love war nickels and the real beauty of them is that there are still many found circulating since some people don't know they are silver. Great tip about not having to report a sale over $1,000.00
i had no idea at all silver was in any nickle at all, even in a family of US coin collectors, so this is HUGELY important info here. Regarding forms and sales, WHY DOES ANYONE CARE to do so in a country where they have been and are trying to destroy everyone and everything more than anywhere in the world?!?! The US agencies deserve zero respect zero obedience and zero fucks given. Has anyone ever seen the amount of banned toxins around the world in our food and drugs that are banned in the EU and allowed in US?
Nice job my friend, deep dive into something I find very special. 1.75 grams added to 2.25, nickel and a dime that 4 gram fraction will be powerful in SHTF situation. Finding a proof will truly drive interest.
I just sold three of them recently at my local coin shop. Sold a lot of silver that day and the payout was very good. Very honest and upfront dealer. However, he did take the nickels but only at 50 cents each. Either he doesn’t move them very well or whatnot but they didn’t seem to have much of a return. Keeping in mind these were found in pocket change years ago I didn’t care but for future stacking I would have to consider that.
The war nickel is a nice coin, until now I have only one of them. I think they sell for such low prices in the US because the most stackers don't like coins with a low silver content, so it could be a little bit harder to resell them. Interesting idea to use them as weight for your safe.
Great video. War Nickels are very much unloved. My coin store dealer sells me his war nickels well below spot price. I have the feeling most coin dealers don’t want to mess with war nickels and are just happy to sell them. Definitely, the cheapest silver out there. Ok, be well and good luck.
with silver currently at $21.30 one war nickel is worth $1.20. I'll take any junk under spot I can during the current pandemic silver shortage with ridiculous premiums. Most informative war nickel video on TH-cam! 7/21/2020
Silver Cat and I traded and he sent me an entire tube of these great pieces as part of the trade. I am soooo very pleased to now have more information on them. Many thanks son. Many are kind of slick but that makes them tell soooo many more stories behind each piece. I really appreciate this post eh as my dad served in WW2 at Juno. Great post my young son !
I really enjoyed the video and used to believe stacking silver war nickels was a good idea. The problem came when I tried selling them. Most coin dealers tend to want to stay away from these coins given that they are a refiners nightmare. The 9% manganese composition of the coin can lead to manganese toxicity and the refiner will have to implement additional time and safety measures in the refining process (thus reflecting a lower buying price). Ultimately, they are just a huge pain for such little amounts of silver. With this being said, it reflects the price. It is the reason why you can buy these for spot or just a whisker under. If you're buying these anywhere near spot, from a major dealer or through a private sale, you are actually doing the seller a great service, as they would never be able to offload these to a dealer or refiner for anywhere near that price. From my experience in Canada and the U.S., most dealers will be buyers around the 0.25 cent/each price. Please stick to junk silver (90%) or bullion, you'll save yourself some money down the road, while growing your stack. Cheers!
big thanks for the insight on the manganese toxicity as being a reason for lower value!! i was wondering WTF could be the reason for the discrepancy in value-price... My life's mission is to stop and reduce everyone contributing to f*cking up the planet thru worldwide toxin exposure, but have you seen what the Africans and Indians and Asians are doing with all our e-waste to refine out precious metals? Surely manganese should be the least of anyone's concerns
I would add this to the whole "weight to your safe section." War nickels are handy to put in a "decoy" safe, which is your safe in the garage that is more visible. You have a 2nd safe that has the more valuable items in it (think silver bars, and gold). MOST criminals will not know the true value of the war nickel and would be less inclined to take those with them. So put those in your "decoy" safe and also fill it with clad Ike's and rolls of coins. This way the criminal walks off with "worthless coins", and you still have your ounces of silver coins, bars, etc... protected.
I went to Silver Eagle and bought 120 nickels for $116. It's worth mentioning that for the under spot deal they sell them in multiples of 40 and if you buy 80 you have to pay for shipping but of you buy 120 or more you get free shipping.
Dealers hate war nickels. The refiners don’t want them and the dealers pay less than spot, way less than spot. I had a binder of war nickels that I didn’t want anymore. So in 2011 when silver was going through the roof I sold all of them for a hefty premium. So now that I’m out of them, the only war nickels that I would buy is the ones in MS and some that I can upgrade in my collection.
Yeah, I have some War Nickels but not that many. I think I have a little over $5 face of the War Nickels, but I buy them on occasion, when I see them. Good video...can't believe I missed this old gem.
I figured out that with junk silver dimes, quarters, and halves, the equation is "price / spot / 0.715". So If I bought a $100 item when the spot was $25, I'd hand over a face value of $5.59 in junk silver, which rounds to $5.6. But War Nickels are different. What's the equation to determine the face value to buy things with?
Can you call it a silver coin when 65% of the coin is something else... its a copper coin with some silver lol. That being said i find them fascinating.
Shout out Silver Dragon.... got my package and I absolutely loved them both... the Skull and Sheriffs badge look awesome antiqued, super glad I had u do it and that I decided to take that last Sheriffs.... thanks
@@RestoreITdontJunkIT That's really cool. Funny how it feels so good to get something like that. It may only be worth a dollar but it makes you feel so excited when you get a valuable coin in your change.
I love war nickels gotta love their greenish/blueish tinge. I have a lot of junk silver and international silver coins mainly Canadian and Mexican silver. Honestly I wish I stuck to high percentage silver because their resale value is going to be higher than junk 40 percent Kennedys and 35% war nicks.
Dude, today I paid $1.00 per war nickel at my favorite little Oregon LCS. It was a one time deal, but silver at $18.00 an oz! These days, I stick to deals like that and 90% at 22 times face. Everything else is too much premium for me.
I love war nickels. I find them coin roll hunting, and it's fun to buy them under spot on occasion. I hope to fill a guardhouse box with them eventually.
Just to clarify on the tax implications when selling constitutional, it is my understanding that a 1099B is required when the face value is greater than $1000. That would be a lot of nickels but I believe that is what I learned with my Kennedy halves hopefully someone can chime in on that.
Silver Dragons ah it is the Nickel loophole. Well hopefully nobody makes a TH-cam video pointing this out and they close it 😂 I don’t stack 40% halves but now you have me thinking
So here's my thing, how liquid are these to sell down the road, sure you get these cheap, it sounds like dealers don't like these, so when it comes time to cash out, I feel I would be stuck with these because the dealer probably wont be interested in buying them from me unless I undersell back to him or her at underspot value most likely.
Recently started adding war nickels to my stack because I can get them for under spot, not like 90%. Today I picked up 20 of them for a $1 each, about twenty cents under melt value. Also buying lots of Canadian 80% because I can get that for way under melt too.
Great upload. They would be perfect for small change barter and not draw too much attention to you as higher grade silver (& gold) coins & rounds will.
I have over 1000 40% Kennedy halves and over 500 war nickels, if u store them correctly you do yet bang for your buck, I understand these aren't for everyone.
You convinced me, it's cheap silver with alot of weight I just bought 100 war nickels from Apmex on sale. I also bought 20oz of fractional copper, it's pretty much all the copper and war nickles I plan to stack.
@@Thomas-lc3lm my wife has been begging me to buy some copper, she just likes the way it looks. At the least it adds some weight to the safe and a little diversity.
Check all your 43 Ps for the 3/2 variety (easy to spot as the bottom of the 3 hooks upward). I stack a bit of war nickels and have found a few of them as well as a henning. Turns your $1coin into $40+
@@SilverDragons47 usually they put them in lots that are sold by the ounce. So it lowers the actual silver content. They do the same thing with 40% half's. I just bought 6 oz of full date mixed 90% $1.70 over spot per oz. No shipping.
Hey SIlver Dragons, great video as always! One thing to clarify is that even without a 1099 report, I would think that the IRS would still want their piece of the pie when you sell your silver for a gain. Is there an exception for war nickels?
I like to collect war nickels as part of the collections. but being 35% silver I don't think the purity for most stackers. much like the 40% halves... Plus most war nickels are really worn. nice condition war nickles have a nice premium... Thanks for the vid!!!
Hey dragons so got a question do you only have to file your silver for taxes only if you sell, or even if you bought and stacked it? New to this sorry and see conflicting info.
TeufelhundenGrunt depends on what it is and the quantity at which you buy/sell. most of the time buying over $10,000 at once you will have to file and it’s all over the place when selling 🔥🐉
I have 1941 nickels one's got hole drilled in it the other five don't have mint mark on them and one's got a mark by the I Believe by the mouth and on the back it's got a mark in on it the others are no markings what are they worth
I have over 75 lbs of warcnickeis saved and how to make money is selling them as a set of 11 that they made. Even circulated the entire set in a nice presentation card you can buy fir a buck goes for 30 to 200 a set on eBay depending on condition
Silver Dragon I thought your current TH-cam video that War Nickels were not good to stack because it was only 35% silver or is that another video from someone else? I personally would stack 90% silver.
@@ocomegashadowstacking5886 you just said yes to two questions . So are you saying yes to both. Or are you like myself and like to mess with people a bit LOL.
Love the naughty nickels Bud👍 I wish they looked better though the manganese kind of takes the shine away unless they are well taken care of. Still looking for full step 35% here that I can purchase without hocking my deer rifle for LOL💥👣👣

pseudoty on all the research that I did that form only applies to 90% constitutional silver so i’m pretty sure 40% halves would be exempt as well 👍🏽🔥🐉
Silver Dragons ah it is the Nickel loophole. Well hopefully nobody makes a TH-cam video pointing this out and they close it 😂
I don’t stack 40% halves but now you have me thinking
I have a 1937 buffalo nickel and would like to know how much it is worth
So here's my thing, how liquid are these to sell down the road, sure you get these cheap, it sounds like dealers don't like these, so when it comes time to cash out, I feel I would be stuck with these because the dealer probably wont be interested in buying them from me unless I undersell back to him or her at underspot value most likely.
I doubt many people out there are stacking war nickels intentionally.
Recently started adding war nickels to my stack because I can get them for under spot, not like 90%. Today I picked up 20 of them for a $1 each, about twenty cents under melt value. Also buying lots of Canadian 80% because I can get that for way under melt too.
I have a war nickel 1943 Philadelphia mint the weight 2.7 G don't understand maybe some kind of transitional error
Great upload. They would be perfect for small change barter and not draw too much attention to you as higher grade silver (& gold) coins & rounds will.
I have 174 war nickels which adds up to 10 ounces of silver
I have over 1000 40% Kennedy halves and over 500 war nickels, if u store them correctly you do yet bang for your buck, I understand these aren't for everyone.
You convinced me, it's cheap silver with alot of weight I just bought 100 war nickels from Apmex on sale. I also bought 20oz of fractional copper, it's pretty much all the copper and war nickles I plan to stack.
You are your own person do your own thing. But copper. Come on man. 😂.
@@Thomas-lc3lm my wife has been begging me to buy some copper, she just likes the way it looks. At the least it adds some weight to the safe and a little diversity.
@@michaelwhitt355 i was just messing with you. I personally wouldn't buy it. But im no pro anyway. The best to ya.
@@strongjimduckk4712 now that would be cool
Michael Whitt yeah these are great because they are so cheap! the copper has massive premiums tho 🔥🐉
Wow really awesome War Nickels Coins video!!! :D
OcOmega Shadow thanks I love the war nickels!!!! 😁🔥🐉
Check all your 43 Ps for the 3/2 variety (easy to spot as the bottom of the 3 hooks upward). I stack a bit of war nickels and have found a few of them as well as a henning. Turns your $1coin into $40+
Value Hunter yeah those have some value for sure!!!! 🔥🐉
Were any war nickels actually minted in the original 50/50 composition? I have been curious for years but have never found any reputable sources.
One thing to be careful of is some dealers put them in with 90% coins. If you buy them. Buy them alone so the math is easy.
Randolph Relic Recovery yeah good call I have never seen that scam but def look out for it! 🔥🐉
@@SilverDragons47 usually they put them in lots that are sold by the ounce. So it lowers the actual silver content. They do the same thing with 40% half's. I just bought 6 oz of full date mixed 90% $1.70 over spot per oz. No shipping.
Hey SIlver Dragons, great video as always! One thing to clarify is that even without a 1099 report, I would think that the IRS would still want their piece of the pie when you sell your silver for a gain. Is there an exception for war nickels?
There is an exception every time they don't know about the sale. LOL
IRS is shut down. Forever. They're not a problem for us anymore.
Very interesting concepts and a great video.
Fred Gar you got it thanks for watching my friend!!! 🔥🐉
Great idea for weighing down a safe.
I like war nickels. They are fractional and they do make good weights for my safe. Thank you.
Great video Dragons 👍
Very informative
Thank you!!❤
Great video! Love the war nickels!
Thanks For Sharing !
Enjoy Your Channel !
Great info !! Love your videos !
I like to collect war nickels as part of the collections. but being 35% silver I don't think the purity for most stackers. much like the 40% halves... Plus most war nickels are really worn. nice condition war nickles have a nice premium... Thanks for the vid!!!
Silver Wolverine did you say war nickels or worn nickels? 😂 thanks man! 🔥🐉
Wow great points. I .ight have to consider this part of my stack😏
My safes are weighted down with the other precious metals......copper, lead and brass.
🗽🇺🇸
Tom McStacker lol yes mine are as well 😂🔥🐉
@@SilverDragons47 what in God's earth are you going to do with lead?
@@goober208 copper,lead,brass.. bullets my man
@@goober208 Hunt, trade, defend.
Oh, I love my stack looking FAT! lol
Silver Wolverine lol everyone likes a fat stack 😁🔥🐉
Hey dragons so got a question do you only have to file your silver for taxes only if you sell, or even if you bought and stacked it? New to this sorry and see conflicting info.
TeufelhundenGrunt depends on what it is and the quantity at which you buy/sell. most of the time buying over $10,000 at once you will have to file and it’s all over the place when selling 🔥🐉
@@SilverDragons47 thanks I appreciate that.
Also, the war nickels are the smallest peice of silver value for bartering. Right?
jaddy540 that is correct! the most fractional!!! 👍🏽🔥🐉
I have bags of old circ morgans + way to many guns ammo weighing down my safe.
Thanks man great info
I have 1941 nickels one's got hole drilled in it the other five don't have mint mark on them and one's got a mark by the I Believe by the mouth and on the back it's got a mark in on it the others are no markings what are they worth
I have over 75 lbs of warcnickeis saved and how to make money is selling them as a set of 11 that they made. Even circulated the entire set in a nice presentation card you can buy fir a buck goes for 30 to 200 a set on eBay depending on condition
I found a 43 p war nickel and it is DEFINITELY NOT 35% silver...it is PLATED with 35% silver plating... I couldn't belive it
Nice man I dig constitutionals. War Nickles sound good too. Thanks man for the great content
🐉
Metal Bum yeah these rock! thanks for watching my friend! 🔥🐉
Excellent information!
JT Coin Rings thanks for watching my friend!!! 🔥🐉
You can also cherrypick for die varieties! (i.e. 1943 doubled eye and 3 over 2)
CoinJack15 very true! get that numismatic money!!! 😜🔥🐉
Silver Dragon I thought your current TH-cam video that War Nickels were not good to stack because it was only 35% silver or is that another video from someone else? I personally would stack 90% silver.
Please tell me how to calculate the price of a war nickle
35 war nickel= 2 Troy ounces of silver
6. They have the coolest BIG mint marks of US coins.
For real xD
Silver Heist yeah who doesn’t like a big D! ....er or I mean big P! whoops 😬🔥🐉
Lmao 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great video!
Great info SD.
Big Bomber Stacker the is for watching my friend!!! 👍🏽🔥🐉
Silver Dragons
You Get War Nickels Coins in Nickels Rolls at Bank too !! :D
Do you mean you find them or they just have a bunch there in rolls?
@@TeufelhundenGrunt yes!!!
@@ocomegashadowstacking5886 you just said yes to two questions . So are you saying yes to both. Or are you like myself and like to mess with people a bit LOL.
@@TeufelhundenGrunt just find em randomly. Most people don't know about the silver nickel so they roll em up with the other nickels
I've averaged at least one war nickel OR one buffalo per box. I thought that was crazy
I did miss this video!
Nice information,
Unfortunately here in EU is difficult to be near one!
⭐⭐⭐
How many war nickels does it take to equal an ounce of silver?
@Silver Spinner - Each UNC War Nickel holds .05626 troy ounces of Silver. It would take 18 to make a hair over 1 troy ounce.
Silver Spinner yeah it’s not exact... around 18 👍🏽🔥🐉
If your asking a dealer how much they sell them for...ask how much they are paying too.
Dont ask great point my friend! it’s usually not very much 🔥🐉
Love the naughty nickels Bud👍 I wish they looked better though the manganese kind of takes the shine away unless they are well taken care of. Still looking for full step 35% here that I can purchase without hocking my deer rifle for LOL💥👣👣
I got into coin roll hunting and found a 43 P with full or almost full steps!
That’s cool✌️now every time I get change I look for steps, bands errors and varieties😎👌🏼habit for me now even lol
Bigfoot Silver Hide&seeker yeah they are super fun but very dirty 😂😂😂👍🏽🔥🐉
Cool info Baggins. About how many ounces in War Nickels do you have at the moment?
SpegTacular thanks my friend! I don’t have a ton because i’m focusing on eagles... maybe a couple... after my monster box is done i’m gonna go hard on constitutional 🔥🐉
U on point thanks again for sharing your information Colorado Silverback777 Stay Healthy keep Stacking ❤❤🎉🎉.
Great info bro!!!
Silver Fever you got it my friend! 🔥🐉
If you can buy them so cheap, it stands to reason that you’re not going to be able to sell them later for anywhere near spot.
