Liberty Head Nickel (V-Nickel)

Brief Description

The obverse features a left-facing profile of Lady Liberty surrounded by 13 stars, with the date 1907 at the bottom. The reverse (not shown) typically features a large Roman numeral 'V' inside a wreath.

Historical Significance

Designed by Charles E. Barber, these were the standard five-cent pieces of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. They replaced the Shield Nickel and were eventually replaced by the Buffalo Nickel in 1913.

Estimated Value

$1.00 - $5.00 (Based on the heavy wear and dark toning visible in the image)

Care Instructions

Do not clean or polish the coin, as this can destroy its numismatic value and surface original patina. Store in a PVC-free plastic holder or acid-free paper envelope to prevent further environmental damage.
