The wartime Jefferson Nickels of 1942–1945 used silver in place of nickel, which was needed for the war effort. The 1943-P also carries historical significance as part of the wartime series that introduced the P mint mark on U.S. coinage. The 5FS designation further distinguishes this example for the sharp definition of Monticello’s steps.
