The 1885 V Nickel, also known as the Liberty Head Nickel, is a collectible coin produced by the United States Mint. It features a design by engraver Charles E. Barber, depicting the head of Lady Liberty on the obverse and a large "V" for five cents on the reverse. This coin is part of a series minted from 1883 to 1912 and is notable for its relatively low mintage in 1885, making it sought after by numismatists. The 1885 V Nickel is especially prized in higher grades due to its scarcity and historical significance.
