Pre-1965 35% Silver coins, sometimes referred to as junk Silver or scrap Silver, are a great way to start your Silver investments. These Silver coins were pulled from circulation with the introduction of Copper/Nickel clad coins and the rising demand of Silver. The public saved them for their 35% Silver content as a rainy day fund they could fall back on.
The U.S. Mint
The U.S. Mint has been the producer of some of the most iconic coins in U.S. history. The Silver War Nickel series is another testament to the Mint’s craftsmanship, offering a timeless piece of American numismatic heritage.

Saw these on sale and picked them up. Turned out to be a solid purchase. Always thought the war nickels were cool. Being that they never originally were intended to be made of any silver! With such a limited run, they are valuable to me.
- Pros
- Value (low premium over spot)
- Easy to Sell
- Mint Condition
- Bottom Line
- Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

Yes, silver nickels are heavy, but how often do you get basically spot priced silver from a reputable company like Apmex? They all come in half rolls of $1.00 face each and can be liquidated just about anywhere. Again, zero premium = spot. Buy the dips!

War Nickels are a great way to add small-denomination silver to your stack. Premiums are low (currently zero), and it is the smallest-content silver coin from the U.S. Mint. If you ever think we'll be in a position to barter or make purchases using the silver content in Constitutional coinage, this gives additional flexibility. Plus, I enjoy the interesting history of these coins. I bought $20 face value (400 coins) from APMEX over the course of several months. Quality was as advertised (avg circ). A few slicks, and a few really nice ones. Only one was not a War Nickel. I notified customer service, and they immediately sent a replacement.
- Pros
- Value (low premium over spot)
- Recognized Brand
- Cons
- Common (higher mintage)
- Hard to Sell
- Bottom Line
- Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

Out of three rolls, all were silver war nickels except one. As this represents around $1.50, I will likely request a credit on this order. Not the higher number that others are experiencing, and most were average circulation as indicated.

I just received and opened the war nickels I ordered. Not one silver nickel in the roll. There were 1- 1939, 4- 1940, 1- 1942 Type ! Reverse (non-silver) and the rest were 1947 and newer. This by no means resembles what I ordered.
- Bottom Line
- No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I didn’t have any war nickels in my collection so purchased these. There was a good variety of dates and mint marks. One wasn’t a war nickel, the rest were heavily circulated condition. All dates readable with some details though. For the price, wasn’t expecting mint condition. These are are great starter set.
