Please see the Related Link for an image and some history of the famous 1913 Liberty Head nickel.
All Liberty Head nickels have essentially the same design - a picture of Miss Liberty on the front, and the Roman numeral V (= 5) on the back. The only design change occurred part-way through 1883, the first year of issue. The original design omitted the word CENTS, and crooks gold-plated the coins to pass them off as $5 gold pieces. These became famous as "racketeer nickels".

Check for rare or error nickels, such as the 1913 Liberty Head or 1937-D 3-legged Buffalo nickel. Look for high-quality, uncirculated coins or those with mint errors like double-die strikes. It's also worth examining the coin's condition and rarity, as these factors can significantly affect its value.
What is the value of a 2008 liberty nickel?
It's only worth 5 cents, but it's not a Liberty nickel. Liberty nickels were made from 1883 to 1912. Your nickel, like all US coins, has the word Liberty on it so that's not anything distinctive. It's actually called a Jefferson nickel because it features a portrait of the 3d president.
Is there a US nickel worth 6 million dollars?
No US nickel currently (08/2015) sells for $6 million, but the famous 1913 Liberty nickel comes very close with an estimated auction value of over $4.4 million. Don't expect to find any of these coins in change, because only five were made and all are accounted for. There's some debate over what specifically happened, but it's known that when it looked like the new buffalo nickel design might not be available at the start of 1913 the Mint had dies prepared for one more year of Liberty head nickels. However the existing stockpile of nickels was sufficient to meet demand until the buffalo design was ready, so the Mint ordered that no more Liberty nickels would be struck. Despite that restriction, five 1913-dated Liberty head nickels were made anyway. Some historians claim that they were trial strikes to verify the dies in case they were needed, but many others say that a few Mint employees used the dies without authorization. Either way, the coins are among the most famous American numismatic rarities.
