Going through my new roll of unsearched nickels, I found some treasure! Most were in crummy shape, but I managed to find two silver war-time nickels in the collection.

I found a 1945 P War-Time nickel with the "P" over the Monticello. It is 35% Silver and 56% copper and 9% manganese. Being 5g, these unique nickels have 1.75g of silver in them!

The second war nickel I found was 1943 P, in much better condition. It was difficult to capture on camera, but the color on this one is totally different from the others. Silver really shines compared to other metals.

I also found an handsome 1959 nickel. It had some dinks, but it's not too far from mint state.

I can even count some steps on the Monticello! This is how MS is usually determined.

Canadian Too!

I found two canadian nickels mixed in the bunch, which is exciting since Canadian nickels (from the right years) are 100% nickel, something the US never did.

A 1962 and 1968 nickel, actually made of 100% nickel.

Speaking of war, nickel is one of the historic war metals, often becoming scarce during times when demand is high.

When searching for treasure, my priority is metal, then key dates or errors, then mint state or unusual conditions. It was fun finding a few silver nickels and a few nickel nickels in this stack!

Teach Your Children Liberty from Sin

We encourage parents to teach their children principles of Godliness, beginning with the Word and an understanding who God is and what His Son has done to form a relationship with us.

No one can lay a foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw, his workmanship will be evident, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will prove the quality of each man’s work. 1 Corinthians 3:11-13

Teach Your children Liberty from Tyranny

Second to this is the principle of self-determination and freedom, lest we loose the ability to teach our children the first principle in future generations.

Our children read the Tuttle Twin books, specifically to learn libertarian principles, which most people learn later in life. These books are useful for our family, and yours, to teach children concepts that seem complicated, but are made simple in these books.
