Description: While the second world war was raging, the metal composition of the Jefferson Nickel was changed in 1942. Nickel was a very strategic metal needed during the war, as was copper. The 75% copper, 25% nickel composition was changed to a 56% copper, 35% silver and 9% Manganese "war time" composition. These nickels became known as the silver alloy Wartime Nickels. Many base composition metals used in minting US coins were replaced and used for the war effort. The pre-war metal composition was recontinued again in 1946 and is still used today. The coins in this set are circulated and in very good to fine condition.
