1894 Nickel PR CAM Values
Details
The 1894 Liberty V Nickel comes from a relatively lower mintage for the series of 2,632 keeping it in type coin territory. Common without cameo designations except for the finest of gems. Cameo coins are a good bit scarcer with deep cameos non-existent.
Obverse: 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: 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.
