Nice, congrats!
That "P" over Monticello tells you that's a war nickel (35% silver).

Only one would / could be that... and could also be a D or an S.

Based on condition, I'm assuming not in the ground in the barn- jar, elsewhere?? Nice finds regardless!

Yes, but not silver. Silver war nickels have the mint mark above Monticello.

They were found in a barn in an upper hayloft above what use to be where the draft horse stalls. There were hay shoots in the upper loft where the horses were fed from.

Yes, I know I was pointing out the other was a D from Denver. The other has the P above Monticello.

I like the term “War nickel”, “War Penny”, etc. it makes sense to us, in the USA. They are our coinage. Parts of Europe would consider 1938 a war year… then there is the clean up years, right after the war. “Occupied Japan”, etc. I use the term frequently. I just wonder how it is understood on an international venue, like T Net. ? I’m not disagreeing. Just pondering.
