Liberty Head V Nickel

Brief Description

The obverse features a profile of Lady Liberty with her hair tied back, surrounded by stars. The reverse features a large Roman numeral 'V' within a wreath.

Historical Significance

Designed by Charles E. Barber, this coin replaced the Shield Nickel. It is famous for the '1883 No Cents' error version and the extremely rare 1913 issue, of which only five specimens are known to exist.

Estimated Value

$1 - $5 for common dates in circulated condition; significantly more for rare dates or high-grade specimens.

Care Instructions

Do not clean or polish the coin, as this can severely damage its numismatic value. Store in a cool, dry place inside a PVC-free coin holder or capsule to prevent oxidation and scratches.
