The majority of the first year issue V Nickels were minted in very large quantities to fix the NO CENTS problem. This boasts the highest mintage for its entire series with 6,783 pieces struck. Common without cameo designations except for the finest of gems. Cameo coins are slightly scarcer with deep cameos being rare. Blast white coins and attractive toners are both accessible for this issue.
Obverse Description
Lady Liberty with the word LIBERTY on her crown faces left with 13 stars around the periphery and the date positioned at the bottom center.
Reverse Description
Large V (roman numeral 5) is centered in the design surrounded by an ornate wreath with UNITED STATES OF AMERICA * CENTS * around the periphery. The motto E PLURIBUS UNUM appears near the top between the wreath and letters STATES OF AME.
