WAR SILVER NICKELS
The Silver War Nickels were minted from 1942 to 1945.
​
The composition of the five-cent piece was: 35% silver, 9% manganese, and 56% copper.
​
Production of the first War Nickels began at the
Philadelphia Mint on October 8, 1942.
​
To identify the coins struck with the new composition,
a large-sized mint mark was placed on the reverse of
the coins, above Monticello. The mintmarks “P”, “D”, or “S” were used for the Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco Mints.
During the four years of production, the US Mint had
struck more than 870 million of the 35% silver nickels.
A complete set will include 11 coins, 1942 P-S, 1943
P-D-S, 1944-P-D-S, and 1945 P-D-S.
