SILVER JEFFERSON WAR NICKEL 1945 P-D-S MINT SET #S VG OR BETTER

Description: 1945 SILVER JEFFERSON WAR NICKEL P-D-S MINT SET #S VG OR BETTER DETAILSDuring the early months of World War II the critical need for nickel and copper required the Treasury Department to decide upon a substitute for these now scarce elements used in the current five-cent coinage. On October 8, 1942 the new ‘nickels’ composed of 56% copper, 35% silver and 9% manganese were released into circulation. Over-sized mint-marks now appeared over the dome of Monticello, and this is the first time a “P” mint-mark was used on a circulating U.S. coin! These silver “nickels” were during WWII - and only from mid-1942 thru 1945.This lot contains three silver war nickels allow representation of all three of the then operating U.S. Mints - AND all are dated 1945! All three coins have Very-Good details.Note that with the spot price of silver at $32.00/ounce - each silver war nickel contains approximately $1.80 worth of pure silver!The photos I provide are scanned - gray or white specks on a coin are caused by something being on the bed of my scanner. Also, I try to provide large pictures - so keep in mind that my photos can make any imperfection appear much more serious than it really is. I suggest you compare the coins I offer to similar examples offered by others before making the decision to purchase any coin(s).
