1883 Liberty V - Nickel Without Cents Brilliant Uncirculated Condition

The 1883 Liberty V-Nickel Without Cents in BU (Brilliant Uncirculated) condition is a highly collectible coin with historical significance. The obverse (front) of the coin features a left-facing portrait of Liberty wearing a coronet inscribed with the word "Liberty." The reverse (back) initially omitted the word "CENTS" from the design, leading to confusion and counterfeiting. The design was later modified to include the word "CENTS" below the Roman numeral "V" to distinguish it as a nickel coin and prevent counterfeiting.
