1883 Liberty Head V Nickel "No Cents" - AU
Add a fascinating piece of American numismatic history to your collection with this 1883 Liberty Head V Nickel, featuring the famous No Cents variety in About Uncirculated (AU) condition. Struck from 75% copper and 25% nickel, this first-year issue belongs to the Liberty Head Nickel series, produced from 1883 through 1913.
Designed by Charles E. Barber, the obverse features a left-facing portrait of Liberty wearing a coronet, surrounded by 13 stars. The reverse displays a large Roman numeral V within a decorative wreath. The original design omitted the word CENTS, leading to instances of gold-plated nickels being passed off as five-dollar gold coins. The Mint subsequently added CENTS later in 1883, creating two collectible varieties.
In About Uncirculated (AU) condition, this coin retains excellent design definition with only slight wear on the highest points, offering an attractive example of this historic issue.
Its first-year status, famous No Cents variety, and impressive preservation make this 1883 Liberty Head Nickel an excellent addition to any Liberty Head Nickel collection or classic U.S. coin type set.
