Post-WWII Nickel!


As mentioned in earlier posts from 1942-1945 nickels were made of silver, copper, and manganese instead of the usual nickel and copper and the mint mark was moved from the far right of Monticello to right above it. In 1946 the old metal composition and mint mark position were resumed and the final result is this coin. It's a 1946-D nickel worth about $0.35 in VF-20 althought this one is worth slightly less.
