1943-S Jefferson Wartime Nickel with Original Bag Fragment

Thanks to an opportunity purchase by our buyers, we’re able to offer you wartime Jefferson nickels from the San Francisco Mint with certified pieces of their original mint bags! The 1943-S Jefferson five-cent pieces were struck in 35% silver to save nickel for much needed WWII munitions.

Now considered vintage, original U.S. mint bags made of sturdy cotton canvas have become collector’s items. But few survived after more than 80 years because many wore out from use and few were saved. Each Uncirculated MS-60 coin has been encapsulated and certified by NGC with a piece of an original mint bag. Get yours now!
