1889 Liberty Head V Nickel AG
The five-cent piece from 1889 offers a fascinating look into late nineteenth-century American coinage. This particular issue belongs to the Liberty Head series, a design created by Charles Barber that circulated widely during a dynamic era of United States history. The front of the coin displays a profile of Liberty adorned with a crown, accompanied by the year 1889 at the bottom. On the reverse, the central design element is a large Roman numeral V, representing the five-cent denomination. This central numeral is encircled by a wreath, with the country name and the motto E Pluribus Unum completing the design. Minted in Philadelphia, this coin carries no mint mark, which was standard for the facility at the time.
