The 1895 Liberty Nickel is slightly scarcer relative to the rest of the series out of Philadelphia. Accessible across all circulated grades and tougher in Mint State as would be expected. MS64 and MS65 are scarce with higher end gems being very desirable and tough to find. This date is known to be very strongly struck.
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.
