11 United States Wartime Silver Nickels Set Complete 11-Coin United States Wartime Silver Nickel Set 1942-1945 P D S Mint Marks This historical collection features the complete 11-coin set of United States Wartime Silver Nickels issued between 1942 and 1945. These coins are distinct from standard nickels as they were struck with a special composition of 35% silver, 56% copper, and 9% manganese to conserve nickel for the war effort. This set includes all date and mint mark combinations produced during the series, including the 1942-P, 1942-S, 1943-P, 1943-D, 1943-S, 1944-P, 1944-D, 1944-S, 1945-P, 1945-D, and 1945-S. Each coin is easily identified by the large mint mark located above the dome of Monticello on the reverse, marking the first time the letter P was used as a mint mark on a U.S. coin. The collection is housed in an Anco display card that provides historical context regarding the copper and silver composition required during World War II. 11-Coin United States Wartime Silver Nickel Set 1942-1945 Condition: The coins in this set appear in circulated condition, exhibiting various degrees of surface wear, moderate toning, and typical darkening associated with this specific alloy. Most specimens show softened details on Jefferson’s hair and the building's steps, consistent with Average Circulated grades. The coins are housed in a white cardboard display card which shows minor wear along the edges and corners. This complete 11-coin set includes specimens from the Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco mints, as indicated by the large mint marks (P, D, or S) positioned above the dome of Monticello on the reverse. The metal content of these wartime issues consists of 35% silver, 56% copper, and 9% manganese. This composition was authorized by Congress during World War II to conserve nickel for military industrial use. The set covers the entire production run of the alloy from late 1942 through 1945. These are business strike coins intended for circulation. No specific numeric grading has been assigned to the individual coins.
