I am interested in trading some Buffalo nickels I have for some 'V'
nickels. Will trade 3 Buffs for 2 'V''s matching condition.

Please respond via E-mail

From 1883-1912, the nickel had a large V on the back, V being the Roman
numeral for 5. A few were made in 1913 under mysterious circummsatnces and
are quite famous and expensive.

US Nickels from 1883-1912 carried a Liberty Head on the obverse and a
large V (roman numeral 5) on the reverse. They are known interchangibly as
"Liberty Head" nickels and "V" nickels.
