The only coin to have a large V on its reverse side was the Liberty nickel, issued from 1883 to 1912. Please post a question with more details including the coin's date and any other wording on it that might help us to make a better ID.

What does a v mark on the back of a dime mean?

There's no V on a dime. V is the Roman numeral for 5 (X = 10) and was used on US Liberty nickels from 1883 to 1912, and on Canadian nickels during WWII because it also symbolized Victory.


What is the value of an 1883 us victory dime?

There's no US dime called a "Victory" dime. All 1883 US dimes carry a portrait of Miss Liberty on the front and the words ONE DIME on the back. They're called Seated Liberty dimes because of the portrait. You may be confusing the coin with an 1883 Liberty Head coin that has the letter V on the back. The reason that coin is the size of a nickel is that it IS a nickel, and the letter V is the Roman numeral for 5, not an abbreviation for Victory.
