The V Nickel, officially known as the Liberty Head nickel, was minted in the United States from 1883 to 1912. The 5c V Nickel features a design by Charles E. Barber and includes the Roman numeral "V" for five on the reverse side. The 1903 Philadelphia mint issue is particularly sought after by collectors due to its historical significance and lower mintage compared to some other years. Coins from the Philadelphia mint typically do not feature a mintmark, making them identifiable by their date alone.
