Rkmcdaniel Valued Member United States 53 Posts	Posted 12/17/2019 11:32 pm I received this coin from a family member. It is a 1943/ P Nickel that weights 4.81 Grams. The mint mark (large P) is located on back above the building.It has gray color with blue green tint. Could this be a transitional copper nickel? Any information you can provide is appreciated.

Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5240 Posts	Posted 12/18/2019 04:30 am Normal nickel with normal circulation wear. But it's still silver and a keeper. Report this Post to the Staff
