<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cazkaboom, post: 1334365, member: 33215&quot;]This is a Jefferson War Nickel dated 1945-P The P is the mintmark, used to distinguish it from other circulating nickels. This nickel is 35% silver and is worth $1.50 in silver.</p><p>The war nickels were a desperate attempt to get more copper and nickel into the war effort so they substituted some of the metal for silver and magneese. These were dated 1942-945. In 1942, the mints produced both the nickel, and silver nickel composition coins. All distinguished with a P, D, or S. But there was never a 1942-D war nickel produced. Hope this helps.</p><p><br /></p><p>~Cannyn[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
