The 1884 V Nickel, also known as the Liberty Head Nickel, is a five-cent coin minted by the United States from 1883 to 1912. The design features a profile of Lady Liberty on the obverse and a large "V" on the reverse, symbolizing the denomination of five cents. The coin was produced at the Philadelphia Mint, and its mintage was relatively high, although it is still sought after by collectors for its historical significance and aesthetic appeal. The V Nickel is notable for its transitioning design, which was part of a broader change in U.S. coinage during the late 19th century.
