What is the value of a 1938 liberty head nickel in mint condition?

Answer 1

The last Liberty nickels were minted for circulation in 1912.

If you have a Buffalo nickel with that date and a small "D" underneath the words 'FIVE CENTS' on the coin's reverse, it is worth about $4 in XF condition.

If you use a strong magnifying glass and can see a shadow of the letter "S" underneath the D, you have a rarer issue that is worth $20-$25 in XF.

Answer 2

1. The last Liberty Head nickels were minted for circulation in 1912. Nickels from 1913 to mid-1938 use the Indian head / buffalo design.

2. Except for wartime nickels minted from 1942 to 1945, all U.S 5-cent coins have been made from a cupronickel alloy; no silver is used.
