Description
10 Silver War Nickels, a great addition to any U.S. coin or silver collection. Dates and conditions vary, making this an excellent opportunity for collectors, silver enthusiasts, or those looking to own a unique piece of American history.
Minted from 1942 to 1945 during World War II, War Nickels were produced with a special alloy containing 35% silver to conserve nickel for the war effort. Designed by Felix Schlag, these coins are easily identified by the large mint mark above Monticello on the reverse and remain a popular collectible today.
