The 1884 V Nickel is very common from circulated grades up to and including MS65, leaving just the finest of gems with any scarcity at all. A fantastic type coin as it is affordable and displays strong strikes and luster ranging from flashy to satiny.
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 * CENTS * around the periphery. The motto E PLURIBUS UNUM appears near the top between the wreath and letters STATES OF AME.
