Its a war-time silver nickel. You can find specifications on this page: https://www.coincommunity.com/us_ni...efferson.asp
Looks to be in good condition. Can we see full images of the coin?

@GS, first welcome to CCF. Second, full pics would be nice to confirm, but yes this coin is worthy of saving in a 2x2. Nice find!

I cant see it clearly, but the 'P' may be an RPM.

The fun part is seeing which of 50 or so, it may be.

Indeed.

This is an example of the 1942-1945 USA nickel production where a war time alloy was used. It contained, as explained above, 35% silver.

Regardless of how you 'found' it - this appears by your limited photos to be a genuine example.
