I got a 1940 nickel in my change today and it is in really good shape. I know someone who collects these and plan on giving it to her tomorrow and wondered what it might be worth.
And before dcon tells me that it is worth a nickel, I already know it is worth that much.

Can you make out the mint mark on it?
No
I don't see a mint mark anywhere on it.
1938-1964 the mint mark is located to the right of Monticello on the back. Barbwired

Seeing as a dollar was only worth two cents BEFORE the bailouts... (compared to a 1913 pre-federal reserve gold backed dollar, which was worth a dollar)
Need I say anymore?
Still a very sharp coin for its age. I can see the individual strands in Georges hair or wig or whatever he had.
No mint mark on this one. I did see in a chart when I googled it that it is valued at .10 [:D]

I would give your four cents for it. I do need to make a profit. Don
For some odd reason,the Phil. mint doesn't mark theirs.Possibly because they were the first MAJOR mint, in the US.

Its a deal as long as you pay the postage.
If their IS NO mint mark, it was made in Philadelphia.

I wondered why there were some minted with no mint mark. Thanks
Make sure it's not wooden.
Wood would make it more valuable.

It always does! Don
And this was the only time they put a P for Philadelphia.. If I remeber correctly.
During the war they made them out of silver and the mint mark was above the dome of the building.. and those hade the majority of the metal was silver. DO YOU KNOW WHY

'Cos silver don't make good bullets?

If it has George Washington on it then it would be quite rare.
