Nickel shortages and demand for ammunition have driven up the metal content from about 1.25 cents per coin to six cents, a roughly 500 percent increase. The coin's metal value now exceeds its currency value by about 20 percent.

Low Grade Ore Shows Meager Returns in Alaska Mines
The Mining and Scientific Press notes the Alaska Gold Mines company earned about 94 cents per ton from 1,115,204 tons in 1915, yielding roughly 25 cents profit per ton. In comparison, copper and iron ores from Lake Superior yield far more per ton, while gold ore worth about 30 dollars per ton remains limited by assay value. The Treadwell group on Douglas Island mined nearly 2 dollars per ton from 1,652,307 tons treated in 1915, with about 80 cents per ton as profit.
