The United States "War Nickel" tells the elaborate story of the nation's wartime efforts and their method of dealing with such times. As the replacement to the beloved Buffalo Nickel, the Jefferson nickel was initially comprised of 75% nickel and 25% copper. However, as the United States entered World War II, so did their economy, and nickel was conserved and re-purposed for the production of artillery and other weaponry.

Thus, between the years of 1942 until 1945, Jefferson Nickels was recomposed with 56% copper, 9% manganese, and, most importantly, 35% silver. They were distinguished by the mint mark that can be seen above Thomas Jefferson's Monticello estate on the obverse side. These Nickels are sought after for their precious metal content in addition to their historical significance and are available to you in $1 face value bags.
