1902 5c

Coin / United States of America / 1902 / Philadelphia / V-Nickels / 5c

The 1902 V Nickel comes from a smaller mintage of just 2,018 coins struck. Even with such a low mintage this coin is quite affordable as most were saved. 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. The issue does not exist with a deep cameo.
