1902 Liberty Head V Nickel VF
The 1902 five-cent piece offers a captivating window into early twentieth-century American coinage. Struck in Philadelphia, this Liberty Head nickel displays a level of preservation that highlights the intricate details of its original engraving. The composition of this circulating coin contains no precious metal, yet its historical design makes it a compelling subject for study. On the obverse, the portrait of Liberty is depicted facing left, adorned with a coronet or crown. The year 1902 is cleanly struck below the bust. The reverse of the coin is dominated by a large Roman numeral V, representing its five-cent face value. This central numeral is encircled by a decorative wreath, which is itself framed by the national identification and the traditional motto, E Pluribus Unum. Designed by Charles Barber, this classic coin showcases the formal, elegant engraving style of its era.
