NGC Expert Comments:
Collectors have long been fascinated with this four-year set which saw the removal of nickel from the “Nickel five-cent coin,” replacing it with an alloy of copper, silver and manganese. Whether it is due to the unusual composition or large prominent mintmarks, these coins have always attracted attention, which makes this Registry category very competitive. Mcpix has still found a way to dominate the competition, with four top pop coins and four MS68 Full Step coins. Occasionally, war nickels can be found with attractive toning, and Mcpix’s 1944-P and 1945-P, both graded MS 67* 5FS, are standout examples, giving him a Registry point bonus for the stars and making fellow collectors envious.
