Step back in time and own a piece of American history with our Jefferson War Nickels, minted from 1942 to 1945. These circulated coins are a testament to the nation's resilience during World War II, and today, they make a fascinating addition to any numismatic collection.
In response to nickel shortages during the war, the US Mint replaced the traditional nickel composition with a unique alloy of 35% silver, 56% copper, and 9% manganese. This special "War Nickel" was only produced for a brief period, making it a rare and highly sought-after collectible.
The obverse, or front side, of the Jefferson War Nickel features a stunning portrait of Thomas Jefferson, the third President of the United States. Designed by Felix Schlag, the likeness captures Jefferson's intelligent and insightful gaze, surrounded by the words "IN GOD WE TRUST" and "LIBERTY." The reverse, or back side, boasts an iconic depiction of Monticello, Jefferson's beloved home, with the inscriptions "E PLURIBUS UNUM" and "FIVE CENTS."
Each Jefferson War Nickel in our collection has been carefully selected and graded based on its condition, authenticity, and rarity. These coins have been circulated, meaning they have been previously used in commerce, and may exhibit signs of wear and tear. However, their historic significance and unique composition make them a valuable addition to any collection.

‘’I had gone to a couple of other places and they weren’t the nicest people and were trying to rip me off. The people at copper state were very knowledgeable and kind. They taught me a lot along the way too. Mike and Ivy were big helps in my situation. The place is also very organized, clean and they were professional!! I recommend you go here! I will be back!’’

‘’Found a couple of the 2009 Formative Years” I have been looking for. Came to Copperstate Coins responding to an ad not knowing they were a coin dealer. Met with Ivy to pick up my rolls. All in the store were extremely polite not pushy helpful and I left with more than I came in for. Without a doubt greatest place to go if you’re just getting into the hobby, which I am, I will be a frequent customer. Thank you!!’’
