Similar to the preceding 1884, this is a relatively high mintage affordable type coin. There were 3,790 originally struck in which most have survived. Common without cameo designations except for the finest of gems. Cameo coins are slightly scarcer with deep cameos being very rare.
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.
