1896 Liberty Head V Nickel AG
The 1896 Liberty Head five-cent piece offers a fascinating glimpse into late nineteenth-century American coinage. Struck in copper, this coin represents a classic era of United States currency design. This specific piece has been preserved in Almost Good condition, showing the honest wear of a coin that likely circulated widely during its time in commerce. On the obverse, the design by Charles Barber showcases Liberty facing left, adorned with a coronet or crown. The reverse is dominated by a large Roman numeral V, which denotes the five-cent face value. This central numeral is encircled by a decorative wreath, with the national motto E Pluribus Unum positioned elegantly at the top.
