Every year represented! War nickel set.

[zaxfire69]

From one site that is 8ft wide by 20ft long I dug every year that the Silver Jefferson War Nickel was minted. 1942, 1943, 1944, and 1945. I dug the 1945 this afternoon. I am so stoked to find these coins. To me it represents what we had to do to keep the supplies for the war flowing. I'm going to make a display for these coins to display proudly. I dug these with my new Fisher F-44 aka "War Machine"! Thanks for looking guys.



Produced by the United States from mid-1942 to 1945, these war nickels were made from 56% copper, 35% Silver, and 9% manganese. By saving the nickel metal, the government was able to use that metal for the production of military supplies during World War II.

Congrats on digging up the full silver nickel series! I love reaching goals like that!

Nice!

Any mint marks? I'm surprised (now that you show the alloy) they didn't use the copper as well like they did with the cents.

11 total individual war nickels just so you know. Wish I could say I found mine in the ground, but it's the complete set in MS 66. Xmas present from 5 years ago.

OWow congratulations on the first set of Dug OD( Old Dude)Nickels Ive seen on here

 

[Subterranean]

Wow, one cold speculate that at sometime in the summer of 1945, there sat a carnival game or booth for a church bazaar that cost contestants one nickle to play! That was a great score, congrats. Sub

Nice OD's.

It's the OD quadfecta!

Ok someone has to let me in on the OD Old dude nickel thing. I found them in an area where I think there was an old set of bleachers. I know there are more to a complete set, but I found it strange that I dug one from each year in the set at one small place. OD quadfecta is s great description of this find. Still don't know who came up with OD Old Dude nickels. Maybe someone will fill me in. Thanks guys!

Aww man..I know how frustrating that must be. I try like heck to dig a silver dime or a quarter. Sounds like I need to take OD to this site and let him try to find a war nickel. I have a feeling there are more out there.

Olddude has been trying to find a war nickel for about a year and a half now, to no avail. The war nickel was dubbed the OD nickel, in honor of his great efforts and complete lack of success!

Welcome to the "inside" of the joke!

Very nice finds, pulling all of those from one site.

 

[sutphin]

NICE !!!!

Todd's "silver compass" has lead me to four out of five successful silver coin hunts in a row. Todd Lipe is all powerful!
