Default War nickel?

It was kind of odd today. I went to the gas station and I was thinking to myself "wonder when the next time I am going to get something good in my change will be" Then boom here it is.


From what I saw online the 1945 would be a war nickel. Look likes it been through a lot, but I am still very happy to have it.

Flip it over and look above the dome of Monticello. If it's a silver war nickel, it'll have a BIG mintmark up there. P, D, or S.

Good find!

Yup, it is a war nickel. Has the large "P" on the back. You just have to love change. I am to the point where I ask people in the house if they have change and then I buy it from them.
