Description

The listing, Numismatic Coin Lot; Canada; 5 cent; 1943-45 Victory Nickels + BONUS has ended.

Thank you for browsing.

Due to demand for nickel during World War II, Canada turned to alternative metals for the production of the 5 cent (nickel) coin. The first substitute used was a brass alloy (tombac), in the issue years 1942 and 1943 which switched to chromium-plated steel in 1944, due to the demand for copper and zinc for the war effort.

Up for grabs is a lot of three (3) Canadian five cent ‘Victory Nickel’ coins in circulated condition. Included are: one (1) 1943; one (1) 1944 and one (1) 1945; each features the George VI obverse.

These coin have a diameter of 21.23mm; weight 4.54 grams and metal composition of tombac for 1943 and chromium-plated steel for 1944 and 1945. Mintages were: 1943 - 25,000,000; 1944 - 12,000,000; and 1945 - 19,000,000.

PLEASE NOTE - These coins are in circulated condition and you will receive the exact coins shown in the photographs. Coin easels NOT included. ;-)

BONUS – In 2005 the Royal Canadian Mint issued a special 5-cent (nickel) coin to commemorate the 60th anniversary of VE Day. The winner of this auction will also receive one (1) of the Royal Canadian Mint's 'Official First Day Victory Anniversary Nickel sets – limited to only 20,000.

I really love your auctions! I was wondering if you had any silver or gold coins from the ROYAL CANADIAN MINT that you are willing to sell. Thanks.

Thank you for your kind words (and, of course, for browsing). Hopefully (but no guarantee) I'll finally be able to get some new auctions listed in the next week - though I haven't come across anything new in a while, I do have some treasures that I've been meaning to list...but just haven't gotten around to.

Good luck. :-)
