| SPECIAL OFFERING "War nickels" are Jefferson nickels minted during WWII from 1942-1945 and are unique for several reasons. They are the only nickels minted from silver, in this case 35% silver, and they are the only nickel to exhibit the mintmark via a large P,D or S over Montecello on the reverse. The reason the mint used silver as part of the compossition was because nickel was considered a strategic metal during WWII and silver was more available than nickel at the time. It has taken several years but we have been able to accumulate several complete 11-piece Wartime silver nickel sets dated from 1942-1945. Each coin is a nice crisp uncirculated and has never been dipped and is housed in a custom holder so that you can exhibit the coins without touching them. Pro-rated roll bid is $92.65 per set and we are fortunate to be able to offer these for $90 per set. Please add $10 shipping and handling to cover costs and we must limit these to one set per person. These are great items to put away for yourself, your kids or grandchildren. ONLY 9 SETS LEFT!!
