1883 5c No Cents PR DCAM

The first year of the V Nickels in which this issue had the word CENTS replaced by the phrase E PLURIBUS UNUM. This change made the issue more vulnerable to potential alterations (gold plated to look like a Half Eagle). Thus ending the design in well under a year. From a small mintage of 5,219 yet common without cameo designations. Cameo pieces are scarce with deep cameos being quite rare and desirable.

Obverse Description

Lady Liberty with the word LIBERTY on her crown faces left with 13 stars around the periphery and the date positioned at the bottom center.

Reverse Description

Large V (roman numeral 5) is centered in the design surrounded by an ornate wreath with UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and E PLURIBUS UNUM around the periphery.
