      Entry Details

      PCGS Number: 3875
      Coin Date: 1912-S
      Denomination (Short): 5c
      Denomination (Long): 5 Cents
      Desg: MS
      Mint Mark: S
      Composition: 75% copper; 25% nickel
      Mintage: 238,000
      Strike Type: Business
      Coinage Type: Liberty head nickel
      Coinage Years: 1883-1912
      Mint Location: San Francisco
      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: This key date issue comes from the lowest mintage for the V Nickel Series with only 238,000 coins struck. The 1912-S is the final year in the Liberty Nickel Series and the only one minted in San Francisco. Like many other coins out of this mint, the strikes are on the weaker side. Scarce in circulated grades through Mint State with gems being even more tough to find. The finest gems of this issue are quite rare.
