Liberty Head Appraisal

"The Last Five Liberty Head Nickels" Collector's Set

This item is a display case or folder titled "THE LAST FIVE LIBERTY HEAD NICKELS." It contains five authentic United States Liberty Head (V) Nickels, specifically from the years 1908, 1909, 1910, 1911, and 1912. The coins are set into individual recessed slots within a clear plastic or acrylic display sheet, which is housed in a black, presumably faux leather, binder or case. The background of the display sheet features a gradient design, moving from a muted blue-purple at the top to a light brown or beige at the bottom, creating a visually appealing backdrop for the coins. Each coin's date is clearly printed below its respective slot. The coins themselves exhibit varying degrees of wear consistent with circulated coinage of their age. Some details on the coins appear softer due to wear, particularly on the higher points of the design. The 1911 and 1912 nickels, specifically, show more noticeable surface abrasion or toning, with the 1911 possibly having a reddish-brown patina. The overall condition of the coins suggests they were selected as representative examples rather than uncirculated specimens. The display case appears to be in good condition with no visible damage to the plastic or binder. A copyright notice at the bottom of the display indicates "©2004 Field Commemorative Mint Inc." This suggests the set was assembled and marketed by this company in 2004. This set is a collector's item, designed to showcase a specific series and era of U.S. coinage, particularly the final years of the Liberty Head Nickel series.
