There is no bullion value listed for the 5 Cents US Jefferson Wartime Nickel (1942-1945) (https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces45.html) even though it has a silver content of .350 fine.
Thank you.

Thanks for finding that! Still, I wonder why it isn't calculated. True, one silver nickel doesn't have much bullion value, but I have several and it adds up. I wonder if they are still counted in the total silver weight shown on the My Coins page?

The reason this one doesn’t show up is because it has 3 materials listed if it was only listed as silver (.350) then it would show up but for some reason this is one of the few coins where they break it down by all the different material types. I think it should be fixed because other coins that are say .900 silver don’t have what the other 10% is listed.

Should coins be listed by the largest amount of metal in them?
If we did that it would be listed as a copper coin. It has .560 copper in it.
Should it just be listed as .350 silver?

Indeed, you are right. Problem comes from the details, not the metal fineness.
Current limit for bullion value is not (.350) but (.200). Meaning from (.200) and up you have a value but from (.199) and down you don't have a value.

Technically, I would say yes.
Extreme value example: If we have a coin with 1% gold and 99% iron, this is a copper coin. No matter the gold content or value.
