      Denomination (Short): 5c
      Denomination (Long): Five cents
      Desg: PR
      Mint Mark: P
      Composition: 75% copper; 25% nickel
      Mintage: 2,740
      Strike Type: Proof
      Coinage Type: Liberty head nickel
      Coinage Years: 1883-1913

      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: A mintage drop occurs with the 1890 compared to previous years; but, as most pieces were saved, this issue remains in the type coin category. There were 2,740 coins originally struck. Common without cameo designations except for the finest of gems. Cameo coins are slightly scarcer with deep cameos being quite rare.
