1944-P Silver Jefferson War Nickel INB Slabbed
1944-P Silver Jefferson War Nickel INB Slabbed
This 1944-P Jefferson War Nickel is an uncirculated specimen housed in a protective International Numismatic Bureau (INB) slab. Struck during World War II, this coin is composed of 35% silver, which was utilized to conserve nickel for the war effort. The prominent P mint mark located above Monticello on the reverse signifies its production at the Philadelphia Mint. This piece features the classic design by Felix Schlag and remains protected within the INB holder, ensuring its condition and luster are preserved for collectors of historic United States coinage.
1944-P Silver Jefferson War Nickel INB Slabbed
Condition: This 1944-P Jefferson Nickel is housed in an International Numismatic Bureau (INB) slab. Based on visual inspection, the coin exhibits circulated details with visible wear on the high points of Jefferson's portrait and the Monticello building on the reverse. The surfaces show a duller, greyish patina consistent with the silver alloy used during this era. The mint mark "P" is prominently located above the dome of Monticello, which is the defining characteristic of the wartime emergency coinage. The slab is intact, though the label provides a general date range rather than a specific numeric grade.
Mint: Philadelphia (P)
Metal Content: 35% Silver, 56% Copper, 9% Manganese
Historical Context: Produced during World War II, these "War Nickels" replaced the standard cupro-nickel composition to conserve nickel for the war effort. They are easily identified by the large mint mark placed above the dome of Monticello, the first time a "P" mint mark was used on a U.S. coin.
