An excellent way to inexpensively buy Silver, each Coin contains a composition of 35% Silver, 56% Copper and 9% manganese. Product Highlights: Each $1 face value of nickels contains approximately 1.125 oz of Silver. These 35% Silver composition nickels were made from 1942 through 1945 as an emergency measure to alleviate the wartime shortage of nickel. The mint mark “P” for the Philadelphia mint was used for the first time in American coinage history. Other mint marks include “S” for San Francisco and “D” for Denver Mints. Pre-1965 35% Silver coins, sometimes referred to as junk Silver or scrap Silver, are a great way to start your Silver investments. These Silver coins were pulled from circulation with the introduction of copper/nickel clad coins and the rising demand of Silver. The public saved them for their 35% Silver content as a rainy day fund they can fall back on.
