Building a complete War Nickel set is both fun and affordable. The full set includes:
-
1942-P, 1942-S
-
1943-P, 1943-D, 1943-S
-
1944-P, 1944-D, 1944-S

That’s 11 coins in total, each minted with 35% silver and a unique historical backstory. Some, like the 1943-D and 1944-S, are slightly tougher to find in top condition.
Collectors appreciate the series for its variety, history, and relatively low cost of completion. Even high-grade sets can be assembled for under $500, depending on grading and eye appeal.
War Nickels are also a great entry point for teaching younger collectors or introducing friends and family to numismatics. Their patriotic theme and precious metal content make them an ideal gift or educational tool.
Display options range from vintage albums to modern holders with labels describing each year and mint. Consider presenting your set with a short narrative or certificate of authenticity — especially if you’re showcasing or selling it.
