The 1943 Jefferson Nickel is notable for being minted in a unique alloy due to wartime metal shortages. This particular year features coins struck in silver instead of the typical nickel composition. The 1943 Jefferson Nickel is highly sought after by collectors, especially in higher grades, due to its rarity and historical significance. The design showcases a portrait of Thomas Jefferson on the obverse and Monticello on the reverse, consistent with the Jefferson Nickel series first introduced in 1938.
