Description
The 1944 (P) Jefferson Nickel - Wartime Silver Alloy is a nickel minted at the Philadelphia Mint, within the Jefferson Nickels Original Design 1938-2003 series.

The obverse features Thomas Jefferson facing left and the reverse displays Monticello, Thomas Jefferson's Virginia estate. Wartime silver alloy continues. The 1944-D/S RPM variety (D over S mintmark) is a notable error. The Philadelphia Mint, America's oldest coin-making facility, has struck coins continuously since 1792.
