<p>[QUOTE="Kentucky, post: 3611931, member: 33176"]In 1942 nickels were made with two different compositions. The silver containing one had a large mint mark above Monticello and the copper/nickel composition had the mint mark to the side of the building. As the silver coin aged, it got the grey toning you see for these, while the copper/nickel coin kept a brighter finish. Mint marks were hand-punched into the dies and could have many orientations.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
