1943-P (Philadelphia Mint) United States Jefferson Nickel graded MS 63 BN (Brown) by NGC (Numismatic Guaranty Corporation).

The 1943-P Jefferson Nickel is part of the "War Nickels" series, which was minted from 1942 to 1945. During World War II, there was a shortage of nickel due to its use in the production of war materials. To conserve nickel for the war effort, the U.S. Mint changed the composition of the five-cent coin from the usual 75% copper and 25% nickel to a 56% copper, 35% silver, and 9% manganese alloy.

NGC is a leading third-party coin grading service that evaluates the condition of coins and assigns them a numerical grade. An MS 63 BN grade means that the coin is in Mint State (uncirculated) condition with moderate to heavy marks and/or hairlines. The "BN" designation indicates that the coin has a predominantly brown color, which is common for copper and copper-alloy coins that have toned or oxidized over time.

In summary, a 1943-P United States Jefferson Nickel graded MS 63 BN by NGC is an uncirculated wartime alloy five-cent coin with moderate to heavy marks and a predominantly brown color.
