The V Nickel, officially known as the Liberty Head nickel, was produced by the United States Mint from 1883 to 1913, with the 1909 being a notable year for collectors. This five-cent coin features a stylized depiction of Lady Liberty on the obverse and a large "V" for "five" on the reverse. The 1909 V Nickel is highly sought after due to its historical significance and relative scarcity, particularly in higher grades, making it a valuable addition to any collection focused on early 20th-century American coinage. Collectors often seek various mint marks and conditions to enhance their collections.
