What is the value of an 1893 liberty nickel?

Answer 1

1893 is a fairly better date Liberty Head nickel. For an accurate assessment of value the coin needs to be seen and graded. Most coins of this type have seen heavy use and show a lot of wear. In general retail values for low grade coins are $6.00-$22.00, better grade are $36.00-$58.00 and coins showing almost no wear run from $100.00-$126.00. Values are a market average and only for coins in collectible condition, coins that are bent, corroded, scratched or have been cleaned have far less value if any to a collector or dealer

Answer 2

The 1893 Liberty Nickel is a rare coin, and its value can vary depending on its condition and any unique characteristics it may have. In general, a well-preserved 1893 Liberty Nickel can be worth hundreds to thousands of dollars. It's best to have the coin authenticated and appraised by a professional to determine its exact value.

Answer 3

As of 05/2009 circulated specimens of this coin are worth as much for their gold content than as a collectible, although from an historical standpoint it makes more sense to sell it as a collectible than to throw it in a melting pot. Uncirculated (or almost uncirculated) ones are definitely worth more to a collector.

Numismedia lists the following approximate retail values:

No mint mark on the reverse side:

Very worn condition - $268

Moderately worn - $310

Slightly worn - $350

Almost no wear - $375

Uncirculated - $410+

"S" (San Francisco) on the reverse side:

Very to Slightly worn - same as without a mint mark

Almost no wear - $425-1000

Uncirculated - $2000+

Answer 4

Retail is $225 to $500 depending on condition

Answer 5

Regardless of mint mark, its gold content makes this coin worth between $475 and $525 depending on how worn it is.

Please post a new question with the coin's denomination. In 1897 ALL U.S. coins except the penny had a picture of Miss Liberty. Also look on the back for a small S or O mint mark.
