A 1943 P Nickel is worth what?

Answer 1

About a dollar in average condition.

1942 to 1945 were the only years that nickels didn't contain any of that metal. It was needed for the war effort so the coin's composition was changed to a combination of copper, manganese, and a bit of silver.

Answer 2

"War nickels" made from mid-1942 to 1945 contain a small amount of silver, so they retail for at least $1 in average condition.

Nickel was needed for the war effort, so in mid-1942 the Mint switched to a combination of silver, copper, and manganese. It was satisfactory for a while but the coins wore faster than normal nickels and tarnished a lot.

These coins are the only nickels to contain silver. All other dates (1866-1942 and 1946-present) are made of a cupronickel alloy.

Answer 3

These so-called "war nickels" don't contain any nickel because it was needed for the war effort. Instead they're made of silver, copper, and manganese. Silver was cheap back then but its value today is high enough to make each coin worth about $1.00

Answer 4

July 18, 2009 The 1944 Jefferson Nickel was struck at 3 US Mint facilities; Philadelphia, Denver and San Francisco. The mintmark for these coins is found on the reverse [tails] side of the coin above the building. A "P" indicates the coin was struck at the Philadelphia mint. A "D" indicates the coin was struck at the Denver Mint. An "S" indicates the coin was struck at the San Francisco Mint. Much of the value of this coins lies with the silver it contains. Coins with noticeable wear are valued by this silver content and are worth about 75 cents . The values for better grade nickels are shown in the chart below.

Answer 5

A 1943 P Nickel is known as a "wartime nickel" and is made of 56% copper, 35% silver, and 9% manganese due to the shortage of nickel during World War II. Typically, these coins are not as valuable as regular nickels from that era and are valued based on their silver content. A 1943 P Nickel in circulated condition is worth around $1-3.
