[QUOTE="koen, post: 1381873, member: 35636"]Think alml the tings i found out about them you allready wil know. I must admit that i did not know there where war nickels. I just tought that the position of the mintmark was some sort of test from the mint to make it more visible or something like that. And actualt with that tought i was not very wrong it seems, They were planned to be removed from circulation after the war, and the mintmark on that postition was easyer to recognize them to remove them. Also these are the first coins with the P minimark made, before the war nickels no P mintmarkls where placed on coins. There is silver in then (didnt know that either), copper and maganese (i think that is something like magnesium, but im not sure, need to search it up first) They where made because the nickel was being used to make armor plating.[/QUOTE]
