United States War-Nickel Set

1942-1945 PDS

(11 Piece set)

 

Complete 11 - Piece set of circulated, silver "war nickels" minted between 1942 and 1945 at all three mints.

These nickels were composed of copper (56%), silver (35%), and manganese (9%) eliminating nickel, a material crucial to the war effort. Large mint marks were placed on the reverse above the dome of Monticello to denote the change of alloy. For the first time, a letter P was used to indicate mintage in Philadelphia. The nickels in these sets are of average circulation and the grades range from Good to Very Fine. In the entire Jefferson series, these are the most difficult dates to find in circulation because they contain silver and have a unique green coloration.

The set is housed in a custom cardboard holder with a vinyl slipcover.
