The 1912 Proof V Nickel comes from a relatively lower mintage of just 2,145 coins struck. Even with such a low mintage this coin is quite affordable as most remain in existence. 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. 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: Circulation strikes are very plentiful, including at gem (MS-65) and, less often, even higher grades. However, many are struck from overused dies and show granular fields. Quality can be a challenge.
Proofs are generally of high quality, with good eye appeal.
CIRCULATION STRIKES:
Characteristics and Appearance: Striking and luster vary, due to the large number of die pairs used. Planchet laminations and flakes can be a problem. Coins with frosty luster and with sharply struck details are in the minority, but enough of this date are around that in time a suitable coin can be found. A total of 160 obverse dies were made.
PROOF STRIKES:
Characteristics and Appearance: The fields are very flat (not with significant basin- ing or curvature). Proofs are usually very attractive, and when seen they are typically in higher grades.
