Description

This is an 1883 Liberty Head 'V' Nickel, notable for being the 'No CENTS' variety from the first year of issue. The coin is in Very Fine (VF) condition, exhibiting moderate wear on the highest points of the design with all letters in 'LIBERTY' visible but showing some signs of wear. The details in the hair and on the wreath are defined, although not sharp. Surfaces show typical contact marks and light scratches for a circulated coin from this era, accompanied by light, even toning. This historically significant coin from the United States Mint was created by artist Charles E. Barber, who served as the sixth Chief Engraver of the Mint. The 'No CENTS' variety is recognized for its unique history, having been gold-plated by fraudsters to mimic a $5 gold piece. Don't miss the chance to own this piece of numismatic history!
