As of my last knowledge update in October 2023, the individual with the most Silver Stars with a "V" device, which denotes valor in combat, is Colonel Charles E. "Chuck" Yost of the U.S. Army. He earned multiple Silver Stars during his service, particularly noted for his actions in Vietnam. However, specific records can fluctuate, so it's advisable to consult the latest military records or databases for the most current information.
Two of the medals are for outstanding service of some form and the one with the "V" is for heroism in combat. However multiple awards of the medal to individuals did not happen. The medal, with or without Combat "V" is awarded. Subsequent awards are shown with a Star or Maple leaf depending on the branch of service.
While Bronze Stars are fairly common, those with V devices – for combat gallantry – are much more rare. Only one in 40 Bronze Stars are awarded with a V-device, for those who performed well under fire at great personal risk.

No it does not have any silver
1. STARS, not "starts" 2. Copper-nickel, not silver 3. Miss Liberty, not just any lady V is the Roman numeral for 5 so you have a nickel. There's more information at the Related Question.
Copper-nickel, not silver E Pluribus Unum, not "You Pluribus Unum" Your coin has a V on it because V is the Roman numeral for 5, so you have a 5-cent piece. See the Related Question for more details.
No, a Silver Star is only awarded under such cicumstances that "valor" is apparaent, thus no V insignia is added, however the Bronze Star can be awarded with or without a V.
Don't assume every old coin is made of silver. Your coin has a V on it because V is the Roman numeral for 5, so you have a nickel, made of plain old nickel and copper. It's most commonly called a Liberty nickel, but sometimes it's referred to as a "V nickel". However, without knowing its date it's difficult to assign a value. Please post a new question with that information.
That's a Liberty nickel, which contains NO silver. The V on the back is the Roman numeral for 5. 1903 is a relatively common date, currently worth around $2 in worn condition and upwards of $60 if uncirculated.
I have a 1924 silver dollar and, yes, it does have trust spelled with a "v".
A brass "V" about the size of this actual letter which is pinned on the cloth portion of the medal or the ribbon. The "V" stands for Valor.
