1891 Liberty Head V Nickel AU
The 1891 Liberty Head nickel represents a classic era of United States minor coinage. Struck in Philadelphia, this five-cent piece showcases the artistic vision of designer Charles Barber, capturing the aesthetic transition of late nineteenth-century American currency. On the obverse side, a dignified portrait of Liberty faces left, her hair adorned with a crown that proudly displays her name. The year 1891 is anchored at the bottom, framing the neoclassical profile. The reverse is dominated by a large Roman numeral V, representing the five-cent denomination. This central numeral is encircled by a delicate wreath, which is itself surrounded by the traditional legends indicating the nation of origin, United States of America, alongside the motto E Pluribus Unum.
