The last circulating Liberty or V nickels were minted in 1912. Five more were dated 1913 and have been in collections ever since.
The voltage of a galvanic cell made with silver (Ag) and nickel (Ni) can be calculated using their standard reduction potentials. Silver has a standard reduction potential of +0.80 V, while nickel has a standard reduction potential of -0.25 V. The overall cell potential can be determined by subtracting the reduction potential of nickel from that of silver, resulting in a voltage of approximately +1.05 V for the cell.
1.05 V
Nickels are made in the United States Mint. Seventy-five percent of the nickel is copper and twenty-five is made of actual nickel.
iron nickel
Yes, originally nickels were made of a combination of nickel and copper. However, due to the rising cost of nickel during World War II, the composition was changed to a blend of copper, nickel, and other metals. Today's nickels are made of 75% copper and 25% nickel.
The nickel was never made with silver, it is made with nickel, hence the name.
No they are made of 75% copper and 25% nickel.
For the same reason any other nickel was made - to provide coins for commerce.
Check that coin again. The last year for V nickels was 1912.
The last V nickels were struck in 1912. 1920 is a Indian head.
Only the Liberty Nickel had the Roman numeral "V" on its reverse. The US Mint never issued a penny with a large "V" on the reverse.
It is not a "V" cent, but rather is known as a "V" or "Liberty Head" nickel. Like all US nickels, it is struck from 75% copper and 25% nickel.
All Liberty Head nickels (1883-1912) are made from 75% copper & 25% nickel.
The last year of minting for the 'Indian Head' nickel (some times called the 'Buffalo' nickel) was 1938.
All Liberty Head nickels are made from the same alloy as current nickels: 75% copper mixed with 25% nickel. Regardless of common misunderstandings, the only US nickels that ever contained silver were the famous "war nickels" made during WWII when nickel metal was needed for the war effort.
The voltage of a galvanic cell made with silver (Ag) and nickel (Ni) will depend on the standard reduction potentials of the two metals. The standard reduction potential of silver is +0.80 V and for nickel it is -0.25 V. The voltage of the cell will be determined by the difference in these potentials, so the cell voltage would be (0.80 V) - (-0.25 V) = 1.05 V.
not 1990. The last V nickels were struck in 1912. Please check again and post a new question.
