      Entry Details

      PCGS Number: 3847
      Coin Date: 1886
      Denomination (Short): 5c
      Denomination (Long): 5 Cents
      Desg: MS
      Composition: 75% copper; 25% nickel
      Mintage: 3,326,000
      Strike Type: Business
      Coinage Type: Liberty head nickel
      Coinage Years: 1883-1912
      Mint Location: Philadelphia
      Diameter: 21.2
      Weight (Grams): 5
      Designer: Charles E. Barber
      Edge: Plain
      Obverse Description: Lady Liberty with the word LIBERTY on her crown faces left with 13 stars around the periphery and the date positioned at the bottom center.
      Reverse Description: Large V (roman numeral 5) is centered in the design surrounded by an ornate wreath with UNITED STATES OF AMERICA * CENTS * around the periphery. The motto E PLURIBUS UNUM appears near the top between the wreath and letters STATES OF AME.
      General Notes: Another key issue behind the 1885 and 1912-S, as number 3 in the rankings of rare V Nickels. Scarce as a circulated coin and gradually even more tough in Mint State. Gems then become truly rare. This date is known to have a weak strike; so, super high-quality examples are not easy to find.
