Collectible coins, such as the Liberty Head nickel, are a significant part of numismatics, often sought after for their historical value and craftsmanship. The Liberty Head nickel, minted from 1883 to 1912, features an iconic design by engraver Charles E. Barber. The 1887 Liberty Head nickel was produced in Philadelphia and is part of the five-cent denomination, also known as the "nickel" or, historically, as the "half dime" in earlier classifications. Collectors often focus on factors such as rarity, condition, and historical context when assessing these coins.
