Baby_Lokz New Member United States 42 Posts	Posted 10/01/2018 8:18 pm Have a 1943 P nickel ( most likely a Wartime nickel ) with what looks like it has an extra mint marker on the reverse right next to the word MONTICELLO. It's very light and you can be seen slightly without magnification. Can this coin be some kind of error? Or is it just dirty and have machine damages to it? Report this Post to the Staff

I see what your talking about, it appears to be light pitting on the surface of the coin, not an error just some minor damage. But keep it still it 35% silver. War Nickels range from 1942 (Type 2) to 1945. Report this Post to the Staff

Baby_Lokz New Member United States 42 Posts	Posted 10/01/2018 8:45 pm I see, okay thank you very much for the much needed info.... Now I have just one other question? How can you tell a War Nickel to that of a copper nickel? Is there anyway of knowing the differences? How can you test them ? Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 10/01/2018 9:22 pm @BL, your coin may have a small lamination on the rev to the right of Monticello. I think that this may be pretty common on these War Nickels.

gfymf667 New Member United States 25 Posts	Posted 10/01/2018 9:40 pm Could be a couple of things, but there's saying what and science fact... Anyway you look at it the next person is waiting to shoot their"opinions"off many with assumption rapid-fire. Could be a variety with a dropped mintmark or overstrike.
