1895 Liberty Head V Nickel Fine
In 1895, the United States Mint in Philadelphia produced a five-cent piece that remains a classic of American coinage. This Liberty Head nickel, preserved in Fine condition, showcases a distinct era of late nineteenth-century design. Crafted from a base metal alloy rather than precious silver or gold, this coin was made for the busy channels of daily commerce. The front of the coin features a left-facing portrait of Liberty wearing a crown, with the date 1895 positioned below her. On the reverse, the central focus is a large Roman numeral V, representing the five-cent denomination. This numeral is encircled by a decorative wreath, which is itself surrounded by the national motto E Pluribus Unum and the country name, United States of America.
