Product Description

The Liberty Head nickel was the second 5-cent coin to be struck in that metal, following the Shield nickels of 1866-1883.

When introduced in January of 1883, the reverse featured a Roman numeral V to indicate the 5-cent denomination. The inclusion of the word “cents” was never considered necessary, as the three-cent piece had circulated uneventfully for years with only Roman numerals. It quickly became apparent, however, that the omission of “cents” was a serious issue, as many people began gold plating the new nickels and passing them as five-dollar gold pieces, which had a similar size. The U.S. Mint was particularly disturbed by the gold-plated nickels and ordered a design modification by June of 1883 to include the word cents.

You will receive the unique coin shown in the photos housed in plush-lined box with a certificate of authenticity.
