    It may not be a coin but it sure is interesting. Any idea how much silver this contains?

    US nickels made during WWII (war nickels) contain 35% silver. They're "worth" about $2.15 right now. But since they tend to sell at a discount, you shouldn't have a problem finding them for $2. Maybe less. And they've got copper and manganese, too. They have a face value and they're historically interesting.

    Not a fan for SHTF purchases. But I'd rather have one of them than that franklin mint thingy.

    It's a novelty "coin" and you wouldn't expect to buy something like this at melt. As a conversation piece, I think $2 is cheap eough.
