      Coin Date: 1896
      Denomination (Short): 5c
      Denomination (Long): 5 Cents
      Desg: PR
      Composition: 75% copper; 25% nickel
      Mintage: 1,862
      Strike Type: Proof
      Coinage Type: Liberty head nickel
      Coinage Years: 1883-1913
      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 lowest mintage thus far and the first to be under the two thousand mark, at 1,862 struck. Coins without any cameo are very easy to come by with a gradual increase in value with cameo pieces. Deep Cameos are rare but not too difficult to locate.
