Some war nickels had minting errors, such as:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">1943 nickels with a 3 over the 2, due to an incorrect die change at the beginning of 1943</li> </ul><ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">1943 double-die obverse nickels with a P mint mark</li> </ul><ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">1945 double-die reverse with a P mint mark </li> </ul></li> </ul></blockquote>
