Description
1912 V-Nickel Coin in Good to Fair condition, see photos. The 1912 Liberty Head V-Nickel holds a historic and revered place in American numismatics, representing the official final year of Charles E. Barber’s classic design before it was replaced by the Buffalo nickel. 1912 is most famous for being the first year the United States Mint struck nickels at branch facilities, producing the legendary, low-mintage 1912-D (Denver) and 1912-S (San Francisco) keys to the series. While the Philadelphia striking itself is relatively common in Mint State, securing a gem-quality specimen with a razor-sharp strike on Liberty’s hair curls and the reverse wreath requires a discerning eye. This makes a well-preserved 1912 a perfect anchor piece for understanding the fascinating transitional period of early 20th-century U.S. coinage.
