This set is only the second issue of nickel coinage (with a five cent value) as the "nickel" wasn't introduced until 1866. The Liberty nickel series includes the famed 1883 "No Cents" issue, the rare 1885, and the first mintmarked nickels that were issued in 1912 in Denver and San Francisco. Historic, fun and affordable for most collectors.
