The entry of America into WWII at the end of 1941 brought some changes to some circulating coins the following year. The five cent coin, which contained 25% nickel (a critical war metal) got a new alloy composed of 35% silver and 56% copper (down from 75%). The new material wasn't introduced though until October, 1942, so two types of 1942-P nickel exist, making the 1942 Mint Set a 16-piece set. However, when major varieties are included, the number jumps to 20 coins. As expected, the four additional coins provide most of the challenge, and include the 1941/1 dimes from Philadelphia and Denver, the 1942 D/D nickel and the 1942-D Doubled Die Obverse quarter.
