Key dates for the series include the 1939-D, and 1950-D nickels. The 1939-D nickel with a mintage of 3,514,000 coins is the second lowest behind the 1950-D nickel. The cause of the key date of 1939 stems from the new design that excited collectors the year prior, after the initial hype had settled down fewer nickels were saved.
The zinc 5 Reichspfennig coin was minted by Nazi Germany between 1940 and 1944 during World War II, replacing the bronze-aluminium version, which had a distinct golden color. It was worth 1/20 or .05 of a Reichsmark , the same ratio of a modern-day five-cent piece (nickel) to one USD.

The "P" mint mark was first used on the Susan B. Anthony Dollars starting 1979. From 1980 until 2017, the Lincoln cent was the only coin that did not always have a mint mark, using a "D" when struck in Denver but lacking a "P" when ostensibly struck at the Philadelphia mint. This practice allowed the additional minting of coins at the San ...
So if 1943 was $0.25 and 1945 was $0.27, I estimated 1944 as $0.26. Okay, glad to have that out of the way. Second, the cost adjusted for inflation was calculated using the U.S. Bureau of Labor ...
