The 1943 Denver nickel is a five-cent coin that is part of the United States Mint's production during World War II. This nickel is particularly significant as it was struck in a unique wartime composition of silver and copper, transitioning from the traditional nickel alloy due to metal shortages. Collectors seek out the 1943 Denver nickel for its historical context and rarity, especially in well-preserved condition. The coin features the iconic image of Thomas Jefferson on the obverse and Monticello on the reverse, making it a popular choice among numismatists and history enthusiasts alike.
