The last "V", or Liberty Head, nickel was minted for circulation in 1912.
Five 1913-dated Liberty Head nickels were made without authorization, and have become among the most valuable US rare coins with values in the $4 million range.
Why "V"?
Contrary to popular misunderstanding, the "V" does notstand for Victory, Queen Victoria, or any other word. It's simply the Roman numeral for 5, the coin's denomination.
