A low mintage in the series, as it is under two thousand, with 1,985 coins struck in 1901. Coins without any cameo are very easy to come by with a gradual increase in value for cameo pieces. Deep Cameos are very rare.
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 1901 is a very common date and can be bought quick as a wink, unless you are particular and desire a sharp strike with rich luster. At that point you will be confronted with a challenge. Since the total population is large, you will find one eventually.
Proofs are fairly scarce and are usually of high quality.
CIRCULATION STRIKES:
Characteristics and Appearance: Usually seen with light striking in areas and/or poor luster. Choice coins are fairly difficult to locate. There were 93 obverse dies used, yielding about 285,000 impressions average per die if all were used. Quality suffered!
PROOF STRIKES:
Characteristics and Appearance: The fields are sometimes slightly grainy—that is, with subtle luster, rather than deeply mirrorlike. The portrait is low contrast (not deeply matte or frosty).
