The Liberty Head nickel, also known as the "V" nickel, was produced by the United States Mint between 1883 and 1912. The coin features a profile of Liberty on the obverse and a large "V" for five cents on the reverse. The 1912 Denver version is particularly notable due to its lower mintage compared to other years, making it a sought-after collectible among numismatists. Its composition includes 75% copper and 25% nickel, giving it a distinct appearance and feel. Collectors often seek high-quality examples, especially those in mint condition.
