Offered here is a 1944-D Jefferson "War Nickel" from the Denver Mint, certified MS65 by PCGS.

From 1942 to 1945 nickel was needed for the war effort, so the Mint struck five-cent pieces in a special alloy of 56% copper, 35% silver and 9% manganese (about 0.056 oz of pure silver). To mark the change, the mint mark was made large and moved above Monticello's dome, and the big D is plain on this coin.

This is a bright, lustrous uncirculated example with light golden toning on both sides.

Please note: a thin line runs from the left field near "WE" across to Jefferson's nose and cheek, and it appears to be on the coin. The holder shows light handling scuffs. Please see the photos, which are the best description.
