1942 - Coins

The 1942 5-cent nickel, commonly known as the wartime nickel, features the profile of Thomas Jefferson on the obverse and Monticello on the reverse. Due to nickel shortages during World War II, the U.S. Mint produced these nickels using a composition of 56% copper, 35% silver, and 9% manganese. The silver content makes the 1942 nickel collectible, with some varieties, like the 1942-P and 1942-D, being more sought after by numismatists. Rolls of 1942 nickels are popular among collectors for their historical significance and unique metal composition.
