This item is for one 1943 Silver War Nickel from the San Francisco Mint in uncirculated condition.
Produced from 1942 to 1945, a total of eleven silver nickels were produced at all three major United States Mints (Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco). To help tell the silver & nickel compositions apart the mint altered the design slightly. They moved the placement of the mint mark from below the coins year to above the dome of Monticello...this was also the first time ever that the Philadelphia Mint used a mint mark. Once the war had ended, they switched back to their initial nickel-based composition and retired the “Silver Nickels” and their special mint-mark locations...making these 11 coins the only ones of their kind in the history of the United States Mint!
