1908 5c PR CAM

A low mintage in the Liberty Nickel series with 1,620 coins struck in 1908. Even with such a low mintage this coin is quite affordable as most still exist. Pieces without a cameo are very common. The Cameo designation brings a premium in all grades, especially the finest of gems that are quite scarce. The issue does not exist with a deep cameo.

Obverse Description

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.
