The 1889 5-cent V Nickel, produced in Philadelphia, is a collectible coin that belongs to the series of coins struck by the United States from 1883 to 1913. The V Nickel, designed by Charles E. Barber, features a large "V" on the reverse side, symbolizing the denomination, and Lady Liberty on the obverse. The 1889 date is particularly notable among collectors for its lower mintage and historical context, contributing to its desirability and value in the numismatic market.
