Is this nickel worth anything?

I am wondering if anyone knows if this nickel is valuable?

    Well, it's a "war alloy" nickel containing 35% silver, so it's worth at least that.

    In this condition I don't think there'll be much of a collectors premium.

    Couple dollars for melt value.

    He was making a joke, look at the reverse.

    I'm aware. But such a "joke" misleads newbies who don't know that it is silver.

    It's a neat find but unfortunately it is really just the silver value.
    Those can be had in uncirculated for fairly short money.

    The missing "C" in cents may elicit some interest these days. Value over melt ... who knows. It would probably cost more to try and get a premium than it would be worth.

    All glory is fleeting.

    You could open an eBay account and list it for $100's as the No-C variety!

    You joke, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see a video having already made the rounds selling these as valuable errors.
