I noticed this V nickel, and it seems like a hair line crack on it, circulation or die error? Also, would you think mint state, if an erro?

Some die crack collectors will pay a bit more. Most others will not or it even decreases the price.

I picked up this 1883 Liberty Head "no-cents" nickel recently partly due to the folklore surrounding it.

Any and all evaluations of its condition would be greatly appreciated.

Also, previously posted in this thread was the observation that "1883 no cents are fairly cheap" as in inexpensive, which I found to be true.

But considering that mintage figures show the 1883 "with cents" variety outnumbering the 1883 "no cents" variety by about 3 to 1, why is it that the "with cents" variety generally commands three to fours times the value of the "no cents" variety ?

Because it was a new issue, 1883 nickels were stashed away in great numbers, so many are available in upper grades.

There was also a rumor that the No Cents coins were going to be recalled and become rare, which added to the hoarding of them.
