What is less known by the general public is that regular nickels were minted until October 1942 at the Philadelphia Mint and through the whole year at the Denver Mint. To confuse things even more, the San Francisco Mint did not make any “regular” nickels at all in 1942, only starting nickel production in October, making the silver “war nickels.” What Was The Only 1942 Nickel With No Mint Mark?The Philadelphia Mint was the only one to strike both regular Type 1 “nickel” nickels and Type 2 “war nickels” of 35% silver in 1942. Since all silver nickels had to have a large mint mark (see below,) the Type 1 Philadelphia nickel was the only 1942 mintage with no mint mark.
