at 2:02 I meant to say silver not copper 😂🤦🏽♂️ it happens... have you seen my video on silver dimes? check it out! ruclips.net/video/_LHzCWcNXrE/видео.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!
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?
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
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.
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 !
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 RUclips! 7/21/2020
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.
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.
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.
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?
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 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 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?
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.
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.
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 🔥🐉
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
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
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.
@@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.
If you are looking to add weight to your safe, just buy boxes of regular nickels. They can be purchased for 40% below spot and are much cheaper per nickel. Only 5 cents each. Won’t drop in value from the price you pay for them.
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.
Silver Dragon I thought your current RUclips 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.
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.
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!!!
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.
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.
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+
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 RUclips video pointing this out and they close it 😂 I don’t stack 40% halves but now you have me thinking
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
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.
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.
@@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.
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.
@@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 I was looking at the channel sticker you sent the white and black and realized I would like a shirt. Do you have any plans on signing up with teespring? I have never bought a RUclipsrs teespring shirt but for some reason I think I could get one of yours.

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.
I have a 1937 buffalo nickel and would like to know how much it is worth
Silver Dragon I thought your current RUclips 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.
Wow really awesome War Nickels Coins video!!! :D
OcOmega Shadow thanks I love the war nickels!!!! 😁🔥🐉
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.
Fiat Destroyer yes that is a great goal!!! 👍🏽🔥🐉
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! 🔥🐉
Is there a good reason to stack the buffalo-nickel-full-date.?
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.
I have a war nickel 1943 Philadelphia mint the weight 2.7 G don't understand maybe some kind of transitional error
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.
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!!!! 🔥🐉
Also, the war nickels are the smallest peice of silver value for bartering. Right?
jaddy540 that is correct! the most fractional!!! 👍🏽🔥🐉
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.
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 RUclips video pointing this out and they close it 😂
I don’t stack 40% halves but now you have me thinking
Wow great points. I .ight have to consider this part of my stack😏
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
What do you know about the Philippine war nickel minted in San Francisco???
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.
Excellent information!
JT Coin Rings thanks for watching my friend!!! 🔥🐉
Great info SD.
Big Bomber Stacker the is for watching my friend!!! 👍🏽🔥🐉
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.
Great video!
Oh, I love my stack looking FAT! lol
Silver Wolverine lol everyone likes a fat stack 😁🔥🐉
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
how do we get the silver out of these coins and what is that cost???
I have 174 war nickels which adds up to 10 ounces of silver
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 🔥🐉
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! 🔥🐉
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.
If you had a ton of these and wanted to sell wouldn’t you have problems selling?
Great info bro!!!
Silver Fever you got it my friend! 🔥🐉
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 👍🏽🔥🐉
Is it possible today find War nickels in general coin roll searching?
Yes, war nickels can be found in coin rolls, but here is what you need to consider. How much time/effort are you willing to spend finding them?
What about the 1965 to 1970 Kennedy Half Dollar? Since those are only 40% silver do you still have to report those on 1099b?
Rick Jones those are exempt as well and I love them! 🔥🐉
where is the best place to get war nickels ebay is like 1 to 2 dollars any favorite sites? whats the average price for one
If you buy them by the roll on Ebay, you can get them for well less than $1 each sometimes.
You can also cherrypick for die varieties! (i.e. 1943 doubled eye and 3 over 2)
CoinJack15 very true! get that numismatic money!!! 😜🔥🐉
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.
Please tell me how to calculate the price of a war nickle
35 war nickel= 2 Troy ounces of silver
Hey silver dragons I was looking at the channel sticker you sent the white and black and realized I would like a shirt. Do you have any plans on signing up with teespring? I have never bought a RUclipsrs teespring shirt but for some reason I think I could get one of yours.
M- Nice great idea my friend! I don’t have any right now but I am getting a new logo design done and once it’s complete i’ll get some made! 👍🏽🔥🐉
Where do I go to buy them?
