The Liberty Head Nickel made its debut in 1883, taking the place of the Shield Nickel that had been issued since 1866. Created by Chief Engraver Charles E. Barber, the coin marked a stylistic shift in American five-cent pieces, reflecting the changing artistic preferences of the Gilded Age. This 1911 Liberty Head Nickel boasts an MS66+ certification with brilliant, largely untoned surfaces. Today, the 1911 Liberty Head Nickel is available from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
The 1911 Liberty Head Nickel represents one of the final years of this long-running series, minted just two years before production would cease entirely. With a mintage of approximately 39.5 million pieces from the Philadelphia Mint, these coins saw widespread circulation and are relatively available to collectors today. The 1911 issue exhibits the mature characteristics of the series after nearly three decades of production, though it lacks the historical intrigue of earlier or later dates.
This 1911 Liberty Head Nickel is available in Mint State 66+ condition. Coins with this grade represent the highest quality example of an MS66 specimen, with no more than three or four minor contact marks and a few light hairlines, none of which are visible without magnification. Overall, the coins have a satin-like luster with bright, even reflectivity on both fields and crisp, engaging visuals.
On the obverse of the 1911 Liberty Head Nickel, a left-facing portrait of Lady Liberty is shown wearing a coronet bearing the inscription “LIBERTY.” Surrounding her head are 13 stars that represent the original colonies. Liberty is framed by a wreath composed of cotton and wheat, elements that highlight the importance of agriculture to the nation. The date is positioned beneath the portrait, and the overall appearance reflects the neoclassical design influences common in American art of the late 1800s.
The reverse of the 1911 Liberty Head Nickel features a bold Roman numeral V at the center, signifying the coin’s denomination. This numeral is enclosed within a wreath of cotton and corn. Above the wreath is the Latin motto E PLURIBUS UNUM, while UNITED STATES OF AMERICA runs along the outer edge. The denomination “5 CENTS” appears below the wreath. Together, the agricultural imagery and balanced layout emphasize America’s agrarian roots during this era.
