Owner Comments:

Admiral Nimitz, with his Naval-Forces, attacked Guadalcanal in the Solomon Islands. Guadalcanal lays at the southeast end of the Solomons, an island chain 600 miles long.The marines landed on 7 August 1942, without opposition, and quickly overran an important airfield.Slowly American resources grew, while the Japanese were increasingly unable to make up their losses. November the Navy won a smashing victory in the waters offshore; not until February -- six months after the initial landing -- was Guadalcanal finally secured.

With This 1943-S Jefferson, it's one of the easiest War-Time Nickels to find with full-steps. It's really a very nice looking coin,with lots of Luster,an' sometimes seen with prooflike surfaces.
