The 1911 Liberty Head Nickel, sometimes called the "V" Nickel*, was minted only at the Philadelphia Mint. The circulated and uncirculated values of this coin are shown in the following list:

Circulated Grades..........1911

G4...................................$3

F12..................................$5

VF30................................$20

EF40................................$30

AU55................................$53

Uncirculated Grades

MS60................................$72

MS62................................$96

MS64................................$194

MS65................................$525

(*)Roman numerals

Remember those from grade school? "V" = 5 in the Roman system.

Assuming the coin is circulated, the 1911 Liberty Head nickel is highest mintage date of the series. For an accurate assessment of value the coin needs to be seen and graded. Most coins have seen heavy use and show a lot of wear. In general retail values for average circulated coins (below the EF-40 grade) are $2.00-$10.00. Values are a market average and only for coins in collectible condition, coins that are bent, corroded, scratched, used as jewelery or have been cleaned have far less value if any to a collector or dealer.
