Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 03/18/2022 7:52 pm It's not unusual for a silver-alloy wartime nickel to look like this. Save it for melt value! to the CCF! Report this Post to the Staff
mrwhatisit Pillar of the Community United States 2957 Posts	Posted 03/18/2022 8:18 pm Indeed, 35% silver, and as others have said, lots of fingers turned it to what we observe today. Starting in mid 1942, the mint took out the nickel for war purposes up to 1945, then resumed to original alloy in 1946. The huge mintmark above the building was unique to the series, distinguishing these from the non silver nickels. Report this Post to the Staff
