megalomaniac06 New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 06/18/2006 12:30 pm I have a coin that looks just like a Liberty V nickel. At least the front looks like it. But when you get to the back it says one cent instead of the V in the Liberty nickel. Please help. Its not in the best condition, so a year is not visible. I will appreciate any information on this coin. Thank you once again. Jordan Report this Post to the Staff

Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 06/18/2006 12:33 pm can you supply a picture? mabe its some type of Mule coin or something which would be a major find. If you dont know what a Mule coin is it is a coin that at the mint they used the obverse of one demonination with the reverse of another demonination and they go for BIG bucks for example a sack/quarter sold for around $90,000.00 recently in auction which isn't bad for a coin someone got for a dollar Edited by Bryan1315 06/18/2006 12:35 pm Report this Post to the Staff

megalomaniac06 New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 06/18/2006 12:58 pm There is no visible date on this coin. If it helps, she is facing the left side. I didn't know that trying to figure out what coin one has is very frustrating. That you all for your help. Report this Post to the Staff
Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 06/18/2006 1:19 pm The coin has been Identified,, but different dates different values and such !! This looks like a metal detector find ? and without a date I'm afraid the coin has not got much value. if graded it would more than likey be a PO-1 meaning that it can be identified as a Liberty Head Large cent but thats about it .

toast Pillar of the Community Australia 1091 Posts	Posted 06/19/2006 03:59 am The liberty head large cent is also called the matron head (1816-1836), Matron head modified (1837-1839) and Braided hair (1839-1857). Now although they look similiar to the Liberty head nickel (1883-1912) the designer and the design are different. Edited by toast 06/19/2006 04:06 am Report this Post to the Staff
