V Nickels, also known as Liberty Head Nickels, were produced by the United States Mint from 1883 to 1912. The 5-cent denomination features a design by Charles E. Barber, showcasing Lady Liberty on the obverse and a large "V" for "five" on the reverse. The 1905 V Nickel minted at the Philadelphia Mint is a notable year, and it is sought after by collectors, especially in higher grades due to its relatively low mintage compared to other years. The alloy composition typically consists of 75% copper and 25% nickel, giving it a distinctive appearance and durability.
