<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 2580498, member: 15309&quot;]The reason that they put the word &quot;Silver&quot; on the 1942-P is because in 1942, the Philadelphia mint produced nickels from both the standard nickel clad alloy and the silver war time alloy.&nbsp; However, in the past, they simply called the nickel clad a 1942 Jefferson Nickel, and the war time alloy a 1942-P Jefferson Nickel.&nbsp; Since only the war time alloy had the mint mark, no further clarification was necessary.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sometimes these are also referred to as T1 &amp; T2 1942 Jefferson Nickels, though it is pretty uncommon.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
