Best Answer

A 1885 nickel (aka - Liberty Head 5 cents) is worth in fine condition (F12): $1000; if this coin is in a mint state of MS60, its value is: $2300.
The 1885 Liberty Head nickel is the key date of the series, retail values for circulated coins run from $480.00 to more than $2,000.00 depending on the grade. If you have this coin a dealer or collector needs to put a grade on it for an accurate value.

What is the most valuable US V nickel?

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.

What is the value of an 1885 liberty nickel?

Assuming the coin is circulated, the 1885 Liberty Head nickel is the key-date of the series. Because most coins show heavy wear, for an accurate assessment of value the coin needs to be seen and graded. In general retail values for low grade coins are $490.00-$730.00, better grade are $1,100.00-$1,470.00 and coins showing almost no wear run from $1,770.00-$2,340.00. 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.
