The 35% Silver War Nickel is a rare and valuable addition to any coin collection. In addition to their rarity and historical significance, 35% Silver War Nickels are also unique because of their physical appearance. Unlike other nickels, which have a bright, shiny appearance, these coins have a dull, grayish color due to their silver content. This gives them a distinct look and sets them apart from other coins.

History

During World War II, the demand for nickel became so high that the United States Mint was forced to look for an alternative material to produce coins. In 1942, the Mint began producing nickels with a composition of 35% silver, 56% copper, and 9% manganese. This change in composition allowed the nickel to be used in the war effort, as the silver could be used to create vital military equipment. These 35% Silver War Nickels were produced from 1942 to 1945.
