1896 Liberty Head Nickel

Struck over a century ago at the main U.S. Mint in Philadelphia, the 1896 Liberty Head nickel is a prized numismatic memento of the late 19th century. On August 16, 1896, a major discovery of gold was made on the Yukon River in northern Canada, not far from the border of Alaska. Also in 1896, the first automobiles made for commercial sale were produced by the Duryea Motor Company of Springfield, Massachusetts. Get the historic 1896 nickel today!
