A classic piece of American coin history becomes unique handmade jewelry in this U.S. “V” Nickel Hand Cut Coin Necklace from Mountainstruck Coin Jewelry. Made from an authentic Liberty Head nickel, this distinctive pendant features the iconic Roman numeral “V” surrounded by a wreath on the reverse.
The Liberty Head nickel, commonly called the “V” nickel, was minted by the United States from 1883 through 1913. Designed by Chief Engraver Charles E. Barber, the coin features Lady Liberty on the obverse and the Roman numeral V—representing five cents—on the reverse. Early 1883 coins famously omitted the word “CENTS,” creating a collectible variety with an interesting place in American numismatic history.
Carefully hand cut and crafted into wearable art, this U.S. nickel necklace is ideal for coin collectors, history enthusiasts, vintage jewelry lovers, and anyone who appreciates meaningful accessories with a story. It makes a memorable gift for birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, graduations, or special keepsake occasions.
