About this product

Product Information

<h2>Ron Guth</h2><p>In 1942, the Mint made Jefferson Nickels out of two different compositions.&nbsp; Those made early in the year contained pure Nickel.&nbsp; Those made later in the year consisted of an alloy where the Nickel was removed completely and replaced (in part) by silver.&nbsp; The reason for the replacement was because of the need for Nickel by the military in World War II.&nbsp; </p><p>The colors of the two alloys are similar, but different enough that the coins can be told apart by the naked eye.&nbsp; The silver alloy is a brighter white color when the coins are new.&nbsp; When worn, the silver alloy takes on a greenish color.&nbsp; However, just to make it easy to tell the coins apart, the Mints placed large mintmarks on the reverse of the coins, just above the dome of Monticello.&nbsp; This was the first appearance of a &quot;P&quot; mintmark on any US coin.</p><p>Both types of 1942 &quot;Nickels&quot; are very common and can be found in high grades with relative ease.</p>
