∙ 11y agoThe Liberty Nickel is 21.2mm in diameter and is 75% copper and 25% nickel. It has a silver colored outside. It is shaped exactly like a modern nickel.
Front: It has a rim around the coin with really small lines on the inside of the rim. It has 13 stars with 6 points each, shaped like the star of David. Inside the stars is the head of Liberty, facing left. She has wavy but not long hair with a tiara that, if the coin isn't really worn down, says liberty. NOTE: Even coins with hardly any wear sometimes have the Liberty worn off the tiara. Her nose is almost flat and points down. Under the neck is the date.
Tails: It has the same rim as the front, with no stars. The words on the coin which wrap around inside the rim say UNITED STATES OF AMERICA with CENTS on the bottom of the coin. In the middle of the coin is a large V with branches of a plant around the V. Over the V and the branches is E PLURIBUS UNUM in small letters.

Please see the Related Link for an image and some history of the famous 1913 Liberty Head nickel.

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.
