1892 5c

Coin / United States of America / 1892 / Philadelphia / V-Nickels / 5c

Very common from the poorest of grades up to the gem level, leaving just the finest of gems with any scarcity at all. The 1892 is known to have a solid strike but the devices of the reverse would show the first signs of a weaker strike.
