      Entry Details

      PCGS Number: 3858
      Coin Date: 1897
      Denomination (Short): 5c
      Denomination (Long): 5 Cents
      Desg: MS
      Composition: 75% copper; 25% nickel
      Mintage: 20,426,797
      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 1897 V Nickel is the highest mintage so far in the series with over 20.4 million coins struck. It is very common from circulated grades up to and including MS65, leaving just the finest of gems with any scarcity at all. A great type coin as it is affordable; but, beware of the strike as it ranges from weak to strong quite sporadically.
