Lot 309 - 1943-P Jefferson Nickel. 3 over 2 NGC MS65
1943-P Jefferson Nickel. 3 over 2. A sparkling gem of the finest order. Intense cartwheel luster blends smoothly with pale silvery golden highlights on the satiny surfaces. Wartime nickels or five-cent pieces, more properly, were struck on a planchet that included 35% silver, hence the color of these fascinating pieces. They were issued only from 1942 to 1945. The 1943 overdate is the only overdate in the Jefferson nickel series, by the way, although several overmintmark varieties exist in other years. (#4019)
