This is for one coin. Step into one of the most fascinating stories in American coinage with the 1883 Liberty “No CENTS” Nickel. This early variety quickly became famous due to a notable design oversight—the word “CENTS” was completely omitted, leaving only a bold Roman numeral “V” on the reverse. Today, it stands as one of the most talked-about and collectible coins of the 19th century.

Designed by Charles E. Barber, this coin features the elegant Liberty Head on the obverse and a simple yet striking Roman numeral reverse. The clean design made it visually appealing, but also led to unexpected controversy. Its classic look and historical significance continue to make it a favorite among collectors.

Because of the missing denomination, some individuals gold-plated these nickels and attempted to pass them off as $5 gold coins. This widespread misuse forced the U.S. Mint to quickly revise the design and add “CENTS” later that same year. As a result, the original “No CENTS” variety became a highly sought-after and iconic collectible.

Offered here in Good to Very Fine (G to VF) condition, this coin provides an accessible way to own a piece of numismatic history. Each coin shows honest circulation while still preserving important design details. It’s a rare and collectible example that belongs in any serious U.S. coin collection.
