Similar to the rest of the Liberty V Nickel Series, this series comes from a high mintage (almost 30 million) making it yet another solid type coin. The 1905 is common all the way through to its finest grades. However, this issue is unique with regard to the toning that it is known for. Also, its luster and eye appeal are stunning.
