This is an 1883 Liberty Head 'V' Nickel, the first year of issue for this design. It is the 'No CENTS' variety, famously known as the 'Racketeer Nickel' because some were illicitly gold-plated and passed as $5 gold pieces. This led the mint to add the word 'CENTS' to the reverse later in the same year. The coin was designed by Charles E. Barber and minted in Philadelphia. The coin exhibits circulated condition with moderate wear on high points, consistent with a Fine (F) grade. The word 'LIBERTY' on the coronet is mostly visible. The fields show minor contact marks and scratches, with even, slightly dark toning. A great addition for collectors interested in historical coins! Inventory #67.
