1942 P Silver Jefferson Nickel INB Slabbed
1942 P Silver Jefferson Nickel INB Slabbed War Nickel
This 1942 P Jefferson Nickel is a significant piece of American history, issued during World War II. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint, this coin is part of the silver wartime alloy series, featuring a composition of 35% silver, 56% copper, and 9% manganese. The P mint mark is prominently displayed above the dome of Monticello on the reverse, signaling the first time the Philadelphia Mint used a mint mark on a circulating coin. This specimen comes protected in a slab from the International Numismatic Bureau (INB), ensuring the coin remains preserved in its current state. As a wartime issue, this silver nickel is highly sought after by collectors for its unique metallurgical makeup and its place in the timeline of mid-century numismatics.
1942-P Silver Jefferson War Nickel INB Slabbed
Condition: This 1942-P Jefferson Nickel is housed in an International Numismatic Bureau (INB) slab. The coin displays a circulated appearance with visible wear on the high points of Thomas Jefferson's portrait and the Monticello building. The surfaces exhibit a dark, aged patina consistent with the silver alloy used during this era. The strike type is a standard business strike. This coin is historically significant as it is part of the "War Nickel" series produced from 1942 to 1945, which changed the metal content to 35% silver, 56% copper, and 9% manganese to conserve nickel for the World War II effort. The "P" mint mark for the Philadelphia Mint is prominently displayed above the dome of Monticello on the reverse, marking the first time a "P" mint mark was used on a United States coin. While slabbed by INB, the specific numerical grade is not provided on the label.
