The V Nickel, or Liberty Head nickel, was produced by the United States Mint from 1883 to 1912. The 5-cent coin features a "V" on its reverse, signifying "five," and the obverse showcases a profile of Lady Liberty. The 1898 Philadelphia mint issue is a common date within the series, though it still holds collectible value, particularly in higher grades. Collectors often seek V Nickels for their historical significance and unique design elements.
