The 1911 boasts the highest mintage in the entire Liberty V Nickel Series with over 39.5 million coins originally struck. Extremely common with a mintage of that size and only scarce at MS67. The issue is known for having an array of strikes, luster and color for the collector to choose from.
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.
