A Glimpse into Early 20th Century Coinage
The Liberty Head Nickel, often referred to as the "V Nickel" due to the prominent Roman numeral V on its reverse, graced American pockets from 1883 to 1912 (excluding the rare 1913 issue). Designed by Chief Engraver Charles E. Barber, this series captured the elegance of the era. The 1912-D issue holds particular significance as it marks the end of an iconic chapter in U.S. coinage, preceding the introduction of the Buffalo Nickel. Coins from the Denver Mint in this period are highly regarded, making this particular piece a notable artifact from a pivotal time in American history.
