Description: Up for Sale: 1942United States Unc. Proof Mint Set w/6 Coins Including; Two - Nickels, one being a Silver Nickel * RARE * Mintage: 20,000 The Year Nickel Was More Valuable than Silver ...As 1942 progressed, and the U.S. war juggernaut leapt into action, an unusual fact quickly became abundantly clear: Nickel had become more valuable than silver! Its use in war production was critical, and supplies of the once-lowly metal were running short. As a result, the mint stopped striking it into nickels, and replaced it with silver. The new "War Nickels" had a huge mint mark (as it is in this set) above Monticello to make it easy to spot the silver coins. In 1942, the mint struck 2 different proof sets: one with the nickel coin, and one with both the nickel and silver coins. Of course, each also had a cent, a silver dime, quarter and half ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * OUR GUARANTEE: Always shop with the Assurance that we will refund (if that particular product & purchase is REFUNDABLE, not all of our products are) your product, if you are not 100% HAPPY.
