Very common from the poorest of grades up to the gem level, leaving just the finest of gems with any scarcity at all. The 1892 is known to have a solid strike but the devices of the reverse would show the first signs of a weaker strike.
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.
Book Reference
Key to Collecting: The 1892 nickel follows in the footsteps of its immediate predecessors and is difficult to find with the combination of sharp strike, frosty luster, and good eye appeal. Most people active in the market are unaware of this, giving you an advantage. Proofs are on the scarce side and can have problems, but enough nice ones are around that you will not have to wait long to get a coin that is just right.
CIRCULATION STRIKES:
Characteristics and Appearance: Striking varies, with most having lightness in one place or another. Check the usual star centers and ear of corn to the left of the ribbon bow. A total of 89 obverse dies were made. 3014 (Deep Cameo)— 9001,0001,9005,000—
PROOF STRIKES:
Characteristics and Appearance: Striking varies, and some Proofs have lightness at several stars and the hair of Liberty on the obverse, and, on the reverse, the ear of corn to the left of the ribbon bow. Cherrypicking is advised!
