The 1943 San Francisco nickel is a notable collectible coin, part of the United States five-cent denomination series. This particular year is significant due to the production of the "War Nickels," which were made from a copper-nickel alloy rather than the standard nickel composition, as nickel was needed for the war effort during World War II. The San Francisco mint produced a limited number of nickels in 1943, which can enhance their value among collectors, especially when found in high-grade condition. Rolls of these nickels are often sought after by numismatists seeking to complete their collections or invest in historical pieces.
