Product Details: This is a stunning example of the 1886 Liberty Head 'V' Nickel, a key date in this classic American coin series. Designed by Charles E. Barber, the Liberty Nickel was minted from 1883 to 1913 and is a quintessential piece of American numismatic history. The coin's obverse features a beautiful, classical portrait of Lady Liberty wearing a coronet inscribed with 'LIBERTY,' surrounded by thirteen stars and the date. The reverse displays a bold Roman numeral 'V' for the denomination, encircled by a wreath of corn, wheat, and cotton, and the legend 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA' and 'E PLURIBUS UNUM.' The 1886 issue is particularly significant due to its low mintage. An economic downturn in the mid-1880s led to a significant reduction in the production of nickels, making the 1886 coin even more rare in uncirculated grades than its more common predecessors. This coin represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a historically important and scarce date in a desirable, high-quality condition. This coin has been professionally graded and encapsulated by PCGS (Professional Coin Grading Service), one of the two most trusted and respected third-party grading services in the world. The grade of MS 63, or Mint State 63, indicates that the coin is in uncirculated condition, meaning it has never been used in commerce. This coin is a perfect addition for both seasoned collectors and those new to the hobby, offering a blend of historical significance, rarity, and exceptional quality. The PCGS encapsulation ensures its preservation and marketability for years to come.
