Question
i have a 1890 nickle with thirteen star's around the ladies profile and the back of the nickle has a roman numeral five with a weath around it whats it's value if any.thank you joanne

Answer
Joanne,

If well-worn, but still showing full rims on both sides and no worn-off letters, it is worth about $5.00

If the word LIBERTY is complete on the headband, it is worth $20.00 or more.

If it only shows the slightest amount of wear, it will be worth about $50.00

Expertise

My strong familiarity with all U.S. Mint coins, extensive reference library, and close relationships with many other dealers allows me to identify just about any coin made in the USA. I receive regular updates to all the current price guides -- both wholesale & retail -- to provide accurate values. So, with a good description or pictures, I should be able to identify and value any U.S. coin you have.

Experience

I've been a coin dealer since the 1980's and a coin collector since the 1960's. I specialize in U.S. Silver Coins and have an active online website -- The Working Man's Rare Coins -- http://www.workingmancoins.com -- offering information and inventory in U.S. coins.
