The 1912 is the final year for the ever so popular Liberty Nickel Series. Just the finest of gems are scarce and valuable at all. A common yet desirable coin overall. It would take much searching to find one with a crisp strike, as most of the reverse for this issue are very weak.
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.
