1911 Liberty Head V Nickel

1911 Liberty Head V Nickel in Good condition, visible wear see photos. The 1911 Liberty Head V Nickel stands as a classic representative of one of America’s most enduring turn-of-the-century coin designs. Sculpted by legendary Chief Engraver Charles E. Barber, the obverse features a classicized, left-facing profile of Liberty wearing a coronet inscribed with her name, surrounded by thirteen stars representing the original colonies. The reverse is anchored by a bold, central Roman numeral "V"—the design choice that gave the series its popular nickname—framed by a traditional wreath of wheat, cotton, and corn. As the series neared its conclusion, the Philadelphia Mint produced an expansive mintage of nearly 40 million pieces in 1911. Because these nickels circulated heavily throughout the early 20th century, finding examples with crisp details, clear hair lines, and a fully visible "LIBERTY" inscription is highly prized by numismatists. Today, the 1911 issue remains a cornerstone for collectors assembling historic United States type sets or complete date runs of Barber’s iconic coinage.
