Did you say 1945?

That’s when the stealth coating was applied. Rare because those are hard to find...

You might want to put all of these into a single thread instead of launching multiple threads. While we appreciate your enthusiasm, you are starting to clutter the front page with multiple threads asking similar beginner questions. I'm not sure they reach merit their own thread.

Just a suggestion

The war time alloy five cent pieces, including the 1945 issues, are 56% copper, 35% silver, and 9% manganese. This alloy tends to tone very darkly with circulation, and age. The appearance of your coin is typical of the issue.
