Best Answer

War nickels are distinguished by a large mint mark letter (P, D, or S) over the dome of Monticello on the back.

These coins were struck from late 1942 until 1945. Some 1942 nickels were struck in the standard composition; these do not have a large mint mark. War nickels were made of an alloy of 56% copper, 35% silver, and 9% manganese because nickel metal was needed for the war effort.
