Question

how much would 1940 nickel, 1946 nickel, and a 1941 nickel be worth?

Answer 1

Hello. Here're the values from Jan 2007 coin mag:

1940 : VF20($0.50), EF40($1), AU50($1.50), MS60($4)
1940-D : VF20($0.50), EF40($1), AU50($1.50), MS60($3)
1940-S : VF20($1), EF40($1.50), AU50($2), MS60($5)

1941 : VF20($0.50), EF40($1), AU50($1.50), MS60($3.50)
1941-D : VF20($1), EF40($1.50), AU50($2), MS60($5)
1941-S : VF20($1), EF40($1.50), AU50($2), MS60($5)

1946 : VF20($0.50), EF40($1), AU50($2), MS60($3)
1946-D : VF20($0.50), EF40($1), AU50($1.50), MS60($2.50)
1946-D/Horizontal D : VF20($80), EF40($140), AU50($225), MS60($300)
1946-S : VF20($0.50), EF40($0.75), AU50($1), MS60($1.50)

Lower grades coins other than stated can be circulated at face value.
Higher grades than MS60 carry higher premiums depending on state of preservation of the mint coin.

Answer 2

In what condition are they ? And from what mint ? Probably not very much unless they were in new condition. Less than a dollar each. Sorry, but there's still thousands of them out there.
