Own a genuine piece of American history with these 35% Silver Jefferson War Nickels, produced by the United States Mint during World War II.
From 1942 through 1945, the U.S. Mint temporarily changed the composition of the five-cent coin to conserve nickel for the war effort. These special wartime nickels contain 35% silver and are easily recognized by their large mint marks above Monticello on the reverse.
Each coin contains approximately 0.05626 troy ounces of pure silver, making these historic coins popular with both precious metals investors and coin collectors.
Each War Nickel is selected from our available inventory and may vary in date, mint mark, and condition.
