Description:

This auction lot features two 1883 Liberty Head V Nickels – No Cents variety, one of the most historically significant coins in U.S. numismatics. These early nickels were struck before the word “CENTS” was added, a design oversight that led to the famous “Racketeer Nickel” controversy when the coins were gold-plated and passed as five-dollar pieces.

Both examples display the classic Liberty Head obverse and Roman numeral “V” reverse, making them highly desirable to collectors of 19th-century U.S. coinage, Liberty Head nickel sets, and type coin collections. Offered together, this matched pair provides an excellent opportunity for collectors seeking historic varieties with strong collector recognition.
