The 1906 V Nickel is the highest mintage so far in the series with nearly 39 million coins struck. It is very common from circulated grades up to and including MS65 with just the finest of gems as scarce. With its mintage and affordability, the 1906 is certainly a fantastic and popular type coin.
Obverse Description
