I found a silver war nickel at face value today at work!

We were closing up the store when I mentioned to the manager, "You know, that nickel is colored very dark. It has a different gray tone than all of the other ones in the roll." I explained to her that it might be made of 35% silver. It was a transparent bank sleeve roll, we cracked it out, and sure enough, it turned out to be a war nickel. I scored BIG and bought it for five pennies!

What was the date?
Been a little while since I got a war nickel. One time I hit a stash of about three rolls or so at convenience store. Almost all war nicks.
Collector since 1976. On the CU forums here since 2001.
