What is the value of a 1902 coin with a woman wearing a crown and a wreath with V on the back with a wreath on the back of it?

In: Coins and Paper Money

[Edit]

Answer

If you remember your Roman numerals from elementary school, V stands for 5. If you look under the V it will say "cents". The woman is Miss Liberty, so what you have is called a Liberty nickel. This design was struck from 1883 to 1912, plus a few unauthorized pieces made illegally (but famously) in 1913.

1902 is a fairly common date for Liberty nickels; yours would retail at about $3 if worn from circulation, up to maybe $30 if almost uncirculated.
