<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JCro57, post: 3007619, member: 92083&quot;]Silver-alloy nickels were minted from 1942-1945. However, in 1942, they minted two types: one was a copper alloy, one was a silver alloy. So how can you tell the difference?</p><p><br /></p><p>Silver-alloy nickels have either a large &quot;P&quot; or &quot;S&quot; above the Monticello dome as seen below (there was no &quot;D&quot; minted in silver for 1942).</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]745418[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Interestingly, there are a few 1944 nickels that are missing the mintmarks above the Monticello; these are counterfeit. But they could also be quite valuable. These could likely be &quot;Henning nickels,&quot; named after the man who had counterfeited them. (See photo below and also click the link for my page on coin talk about it)</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]745420[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/opinions-on-my-self-designed-slides-please.309775/#post-2973821" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/opinions-on-my-self-designed-slides-please.309775/#post-2973821">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/opinions-on-my-self-designed-slides-please.309775/#post-2973821</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
