Comments:
The high demand for nickel during World War II resulted in the temporary change of the nickel (5 cent coin).
There are many varieties for the 1943 P Double Die Obverse, including a 1943/1942 overdate.
These coins can be differentiated between other coins from 1942 that were made of copper-nickel by seeing where the mintmark is located. If there is a mintmark on the reverse above Monticello, it is a war nickel (this coin). If it is not, then it belongs to the transition year (KM#192)
