Similar to the rest of the Liberty V Nickel Series, this series comes from a high mintage (almost 30 million) making it yet another solid type coin. The 1905 is common all the way through to its finest grades. However, this issue is unique with regard to the toning that it is known for. Also, its luster and eye appeal are stunning.
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.
