35% Silver War Nickels

US Mint War Nickels

Buying Silver Bullion Coins has become a popular choice for investors looking to diversify their portfolio in hopes of preserving future wealth. Wartime silver alloy nickels (War Nickels) were produced with 35% silver to help eliminate nickel from the coins, as nickel was a critical material needed during wartime. These nickels were produced from 1942 to 1945.
