1912-D Nickel MS Values
Details
The 1912-D is the final year for the ever so popular Liberty Nickel Series and the only one minted in Denver. Just the finest of gems are scarce and valuable at all. A common yet desirable coin because it has a mint mark. There are some nice gems out there with pretty toning and a strong strike.
Obverse: 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: 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.
