The V Nickel, officially known as the Liberty Head nickel, was minted in the United States from 1883 to 1912, featuring a design by engraver Charles E. Barber. The coin's obverse depicts a representation of Liberty, while the reverse showcases a large "V" for "five cents." The 1904 Philadelphia Mint issue is part of the series produced during this time and is considered collectible due to its historical significance and the lower mintage numbers in certain years, making particular variants more sought after by numismatists. Collectors often focus on condition, mint marks, and the coin's rarity when valuing these pieces.
