jetsetter New Member United States 27 Posts	Posted 09/03/2006 5:04 pm Just something from my collection. The original Victory nickel design was by Mint Master Engraver Thomas Shingles. The V symbol on the Victory nickel has a double meaning. It serves as both a representation of Winston Churchill's V for Victory sign and of the Roman numeral V for five cents. The flaming torch in the centre of the design represents sacrifice. The original World War II Victory nickel had 12 flat edges so it could be differentiated from a penny when it tarnished. It also included the Morse code for "We Win When We Work Willingly" along the outer edge of the coin. The new Victory nickel has a plain round edge. Interesting coin. Does anyone have idea of value?
