August 4, 2009 The most valuable "V" nickel is the 1913. Although the Treasury Department says it was a legally minted coin, it was not authorized to be removed from the mint and only 5 examples are known to exist. In 2007 one of the coins was sold at auction for 5 million dollars making it the most valuable "V" nickel. Of the authorized "V" nickels released for circulation, the most valuable is the 1885. Although the 1912-S has a lower mintage of 238,000 compared to the 1.4 million of the 1885, the 1885 is found in a higher uncirculated grade than the 1912-S. This gives it a value of $75,000 and makes it the most valuable "V" nickel released for circulation.

Compare that to, say, the 1891 V nickel with 16.8 million, or the 1907 at 39.2 million. The lowest mintage was the 1912-S at 238 thousand (not including the 5 known 1913 V nickels, as those are more of an anomaly).
