1910 V Nickel

The 1910 V Nickel had a total mintage of over 30 million coins. This was a massive increase compared to the previous year that saw the lowest mintage since 1890. With such a large mintage, this is a relatively common coin that is possible to find across a wide range of grades up to about Mint State 66 and a couple examples documented in Mint State 67. 

 

History of the 1910 Liberty Head “V” Nickel

While many coins within the series deal with weak strike quality around certain details, the amount of detail on the ear of corn on the reverse side of the coin shows that this might be one of the best struck coins in the series. Most coins come fully struck while it’s still important to watch for weaker details around some of the stars on the obverse that surround lady liberty’s head. The Liberty Head “V” Nickel was designed by Charles E. Barber who also designed the Barber Dime, Quarter, and Half Dollar. 

 

1910 V Nickel Value

The 1910 V Nickel value reaches upwards of just under $9,000 for the highest grades of the coin. This is a premium for a Mint State 66+ coin, but the 1910 V Nickel can be found at more affordable prices in circulated and lower Mint State grades. It’s possible to build a V Nickel collection for collectors of all types and within a wide range of budgets.
