| Additional information |
No "Historic Providence Mint" exists in any recognized numismatic record, and no Jefferson Nickel was ever struck in silver — the wartime silver nickels of 1942–1945 used a 35% silver alloy, and standard production returned to cupronickel afterward. The specifications here are internally inconsistent as well: a 6.5 mm, 0.43 g coin at .925 silver describes something closer to a tiny medal or token than any U.S. five-cent piece. This item cannot be cataloged as a legitimate coin issue.
