1909 Liberty Head V Nickel XF
The 1909 Liberty Head five-cent piece offers a fascinating glimpse into the artistry of early twentieth-century American coinage. Struck in Philadelphia, this base-metal coin contains no precious metal, yet it stands out as a remarkable example of classical engraving. The obverse features a dignified portrait of Liberty, who wears a crown inscribed with her name, surrounded by stars and the year 1909. On the reverse, the coin displays a prominent Roman numeral V, representing its five-cent face value. This central symbol is encircled by a wreath, with the words UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and the motto E PLURIBUS UNUM framing the design. This particular specimen survives in Extra Fine condition, preserving the crisp details of the original engraving for modern observers to appreciate.
