I have this 1941 nickel that looks and feels the same way a wartime nickel looks and feels. I tried taking pictures with my camera and usb microscope and I just can't get it to photograph with the way it looks in hand. so I will simply ask...is it possible?
Wartime silver blanks were approved for production on March 27, 1942, following extensive experimentation by metallurgists to identify an acceptable alloy. I can find no evidence to refute the possibility that experimental coins may have been struck before 1942.
I was thinking that it might be a far stretched possibility. I didn't know if it they started the process in 41 for release in 42. any other year I wouldn't have asked. I found a 1972 Lincoln that weighs 2.7 grams. come to find out there were some reported as being struck on a foreign planchet so I figured the question wouldn't be TO crazy
it weighs the same. I didn't see a weight differential in the red book for the wartime nickels. and I weighed a wartime and it is the same weight
