Item Description
During World War II, the United States government initiated a variety of restrictions on goods and materials available to the general public. This was done to ensure that essentials such as metal, rubber, and nickel were available for the production of tanks, planes, bullets, and bombs to support the American war effort.
- Issued from late 1942 to 1945
- Contains 1.125 Troy oz of actual silver content.
- On the obverse is the left-profile portrait of Thomas Jefferson.
- The reverse side includes a design of Jefferson's home at Monticello.
- Coins may feature one of three mint marks.
The Silver War Nickel represents the standard US nickel issued by the nation for decades prior to World War II. These coins are known as Silver War Nickels because each one contains 35% silver content along with 56% copper and 9% manganese. Due to the need for nickel in armor plating, the federal government ordered the United States Mint in October 1942 to remove all nickel from the 5-cent piece.
On the obverse side of 35% Silver War Nickels is the first portrait of Thomas Jefferson ever used on the nickel. Though Jefferson remains on the circulation nickel to this day, current coinage bears the third portrait of the nations third president. These coins feature the original left-profile portrait designed by Felix Schlag in 1938 when Jeffersons bust replaced the Buffalo Nickel design.
The reverse face of 35% Silver War Nickels include the image of Jeffersons home at Monticello. This design is also the original from 1938 and was also created by Schlag.
