This Liberty V Nickel has a high mintage with over 21.4 million coins struck. It is very common from circulated grades up to and including MS66 with just the finest of gems as scarce. Incredible and desirable type coin because of its high-quality eye appeal and relatively strong strike.
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.
