      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 1903 Liberty V Nickel has a very high mintage with over 28 million coins struck. It is very common from circulated grades up to and including MS66 with just the finest of gems as scarce. The perfect type coin as it is affordable; but, just be aware of striking issues as most are solid strikes but the existence of weakness in parts is quite common. The luster ranges from flashy to satiny.
