This 1897 Liberty Head Nickel, also known as the V Nickel, is a wonderful piece of late 19th-century U.S. coinage. Designed by Charles Barber, the obverse features the classic Liberty profile surrounded by stars, while the reverse traditionally displays a Roman numeral "V" indicating the coin’s denomination. This particular coin has visible wear consistent with its age, reflecting its storied past. A fascinating addition to any collector’s portfolio.
The Liberty Head Nickel was minted from 1883 to 1913 and was one of the first U.S. coins to feature the word "CENTS" to avoid confusion after initial versions were mistaken for gold coins. The 1897 issue comes from an era of industrial growth and innovation in the United States.
This lot appeals to numismatists, vintage coin collectors, and U.S. history enthusiasts seeking coins with character and historical relevance.
This coin shows heavy wear and patina due to its age and circulation. Some details may be faint, and the reverse design may be difficult to distinguish. Please review photos carefully for condition.
This 1897 Liberty Head Nickel is a remarkable piece of numismatic history, perfect for collectors of antique U.S. coinage. As part of an estate auction, all sales are final, and there is a no-return policy.
