      Entry Details

      PCGS Number: 3857
      Coin Date: 1896
      Denomination (Short): 5c
      Denomination (Long): 5 Cents
      Desg: MS
      Composition: 75% copper; 25% nickel
      Mintage: 8,841,058
      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: The 1896 Liberty Nickel is slightly scarcer relative to the rest of the series out of Philadelphia. Accessible across all circulated grades and tougher in Mint State as would be expected. MS64 and MS65 are scarce with higher end gems being very desirable and tough to find with a solid strike. However, they can be found with some searching.
