Entry Details
PCGS Number: 3904 Coin Date: 1906 Denomination (Short): 5c Denomination (Long): 5 Cents Desg: PR Composition: 75% copper; 25% nickel Mintage: 1,725 Strike Type: Proof Coinage Type: Liberty head nickel Coinage Years: 1883-1913 Mint Location: Philadelphia Diameter: 21.2 Weight (Grams): 5 Weight (Ounces): 0.1608 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 low mintage in the Liberty Nickel series since it is well under two thousand with 1,725 coins struck in 1906. Even with such a low mintage this coin is quite affordable as most were saved. Pieces without a cameo are very common. The Cameo designation brings a premium in all grades, especially the finest of gems that are quite scarce. The issue does not exist with a deep cameo.
