      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 date sees a drop in mintage from its most recent massive mintage predecessor, down to approximately 12.5 million. Slightly scarcer because of this fact, making high grade gems really tough to find. Just be aware of striking issues with the 1898 as most are solid strikes; but, some weaker pieces can get in the way of collectors.
