<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bromac4, post: 4568, member: 663&quot;]It&#039;s for real.These were war years.Also in 1942 &amp;43 these coins were made from a brown alloy called tombac as nickel was needed for the war effort.War demands for copper &amp; zinc suspended the use of tombac and plated steel was used in 44&amp; 45.In 1946 they went back to nickel.That&#039;s the end of my history lesson.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
