How do you view the Silver Nickel?

With a great deal of pleasure on the few occasions I have found one!

If .05 + .05 = .10, then two war nickels equals on silver dime, right? Wrong! One war nickel contains .0563 troy oz of silver so two war nickels equals .1126 troy oz of silver. One silver dime contains .0723 troy oz of silver, so two war nickels do not equal one silver dime. People tend to forget that even though a war nickel is only 35% silver, due to it's size and weight it contains 77.8% the amount of silver that one dime has. At today's melt value of silver ($29.95) two war nickels (.10 face value) are worth $3.37 and one silver dime (.10 face value) is worth $2.17. Yeah, I definitely count war nickels as silver -- now if I could just find some....
