What is the value of an Indian Head nickel dated 1887 or 1889 with the letter V under the date?
The item you're describing doesn't resemble a standard US nickel of that time period, for at least two reasons:
- Indian head nickels were minted from 1913 to 1938. A nickel from 1887 or 1889 would be a Liberty head nickel.
- Liberty head nickels do have a large "V" (the Roman numeral for 5) on them but it's on the back, not under the date on the front.
It could be an altered coin, a token, a fantasy piece, etc. Your best bet would be to have it examined in person by a coin expert (dealer or collector).

FS does not identify a nickel except to say that it's a Jefferson nickel. That's the monogram of Felix Schlag, who designed the original Jefferson nickel in 1938.

Up till 2004 they're under the fold of Jefferson's coat, and from 2006 on they're on the back next to Monticello.
