War Nickel Ping Test - Because of the industrial demand for nickel during WW2 the Jefferson Nickels produced in 1942 (with the mint mark) to 1945 had a 35% Silver, 56% Copper, and a 9% Manganese alloy vs the 75% Copper 25% nickel Nickels of the previous and following years. Because of the change in the alloy during the War these Jefferson Nickels are now commonly referred to as “Silver War Nickels.”

Cupronickel alloy composition is 75% copper + 25% nickel. However during World War II from October 1942 until 1945, 5 cent coins had a change in their composition to 56% copper + 35% silver + 9% manganese. Despite their composition change, they were still accepted by vending machines and the misnomer "nickel" was still associated with them although they contained no nickel at all.
