1943-S NGC MS-66 Silver Jefferson War Nickel - Original Bag Fragment

The Silver Jefferson War Nickel captures a slice of American history and artistry. The US Mint produced it during World War II, from 1942 to 1945, as part of a special series to conserve vital materials for the war effort. 

Instead of the usual copper-nickel alloy, these coins with a 21.2mm diameter were struck from 35% silver, 56% copper, and 9% manganese. Those issued by the San Francisco Mint bear an “S” mint mark. 

Today, SD Bullion offers 1943-S Silver Jefferson War Nickel coins, long maintained in their original bag fragment and later graded by NGC as MS-66 coins.

Coin Highlights

  • Appraised, encapsulated, and graded as MS-66 by NGC;

  • From an Orginal Bag Fragment;

  • Produced by the US Mint from 1942 to 1945;

  • Issued by the San Francisco Mint and bears a “S” mint mark;

  • Designed by Felix Schlag;

  • Holds a USD 5-cent face value and legal tender status;

  • The obverse depicts Thomas Jefferson;

  • The reverse showcases Monticello, Jefferson’s Virginia estate.

The Design 

The obverse showcases Thomas Jefferson’s effigy accompanied by the engravings “IN GOD WE TRUST,” “LIBERTY,” and the year of issuance.

The reverse depicts Jefferson’s property in Virginia, named Monticello. The artistry includes the motto “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” the “S” mintmark referring to the San Francisco Mint, “MONTICELLO,” “FIVE CENTS,” and “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.”

An NGC MS-66 Coin

NGC - Numismatic Guaranty Company is an independent third-party service that uses the Sheldon Grading Scale to appraise and grade coins according to their condition. The scale ranks coins from 1 to 70.

MS stands for mint state. It refers to a coin struck in the same format as a business circulation coin that remained uncirculated. Grade 66 indicates the coin may have contact marks and signs of wear and tear, but it is above average in quality of strike and preserved original mint luster.
