A low mintage in the Liberty Nickel series since it is well under two thousand, with 1,733 coins struck in 1911. 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.
