If you can find this coin in uncirculated condition, you should buy it. Especially at the value Red Book places on this coin. At $140 for a certified MS-63 1909 Liberty Head “V” Nickel, this is a value since it’s only $15 more than the other varieties of the Liberty Head nickel. Consider that PCGS estimates that only 1,250 or less coins exist in MS-60 or better condition.
