Jefferson Nickels 1965 to Date

The Jefferson nickel started being minted in 1938. All except the war nickels" were made of copper and nickel. In October of 1942 to 1945, nickel was removed from the coin and was used for the war effort. On October 8, 1942, the wartime five-cent piece composed of copper (56%), silver (35%), and manganese (9%) was introduced to eliminate the critical war material. A larger mint mark was placed about the dome. Letter P (Philadelphia) was used for the first time, indicating the change of alloy.

Buffalo Nickel

The 1913 Buffalo nickel and its successors through 1938 represent a sharp departure from anything ever done before in circulating American coinage. The pieces have a high-relief, sculptured appearance, and not the flat (or nearly so) field characteristic of other issues.
