1943-D Jefferson Nickel MS-67 PCGS (FS)
During the height of the Second World War, the composition of the United States five-cent piece underwent a temporary transformation. To conserve nickel for wartime manufacturing, the United States Mint altered the alloy of these coins to include 35 percent silver. This 1943 issue from the Denver Mint represents a fascinating chapter in American numismatic history, when everyday pocket change was re-engineered to support a global effort. This particular specimen has achieved an extraordinary level of preservation, certified in Mint State 67 (MS-67). Beyond its high grade, the coin is distinguished by the Full Steps designation. This means the steps on the representation of Thomas Jefferson's Monticello home on the reverse are exceptionally well-defined and fully struck, a feature that is highly prized because the details in this area are typically weak or worn down during the minting process.
