Buy A Roll Of Liberty Head "V" Nickel Online

The "V Nickel" is best known for the fact that it was originally minted without the word "Cents" on the coin in 1883. Only a little ways into the year, it was realized that people were plating these coins in gold and trying to pass them off as $5 Gold Coins! And you bet, $5 was a fair amount of money in 1883! The word "Cents" was added later in 1883, to put an end to this. The "V Nickel" has one of the most iconic designs with a left facing Liberty Head on the obverse and a large roman numeral "V" on the reverse. 

Historical Significance: Introduced in 1883, these nickels showcase the iconic Liberty Head design, with the Roman numeral V encircled by a robust wreath on the reverse—a symbol of peace and prosperity.

Liberty Head "V" Nickels were minted at several U.S. Mint branches, but not all coins bear mint marks. Coins minted in Philadelphia have no mint mark, while those from San Francisco bear an "S," and coins from Denver have a "D." Not all years have coins from all mints.

Coin condition is graded on a scale from Poor (P) to Mint State (MS). Key factors include the wear on the coin, clarity of the design details, and overall eye appeal. Professional grading services like PCGS or NGC can provide an official grade.
