1889 Liberty Head V Nickel Good
The 1889 Liberty Head five-cent piece offers a fascinating glimpse into late nineteenth-century American coinage. Struck in Philadelphia, this nickel features a distinct obverse design depicting Liberty facing left, her hair adorned with a coronet or crown. The year 1889 is clearly displayed beneath her portrait, anchoring the coin to its era. On the reverse, the design centers around a large Roman numeral V, representing the five-cent denomination. This central symbol is encircled by a decorative wreath, which is itself surrounded by the legend denoting the United States of America. The traditional motto E Pluribus Unum is positioned at the bottom, completing a balanced and classic composition crafted by designer Charles Barber.
