Question
I have a gold coloured 1943 nikel and it is non magnetic is it worth more the 0.05$.

Answer
Hello John,                                                  

This should have a letter P, D, or S on the reverse above the dome of Monticello.

It is nick-named a War Nickel and contains 35% silver. They sell from 50 cents to three dollars depending on the state of preservation.
