Liberty Nickels (1883-1913)
Current Numismatic Coin Values

The most famous Liberty Nickel is the 1913. There are only five known specimens, and each is worth millions. Now there’s a rare coin!

All other Liberty Nickels are obviously priced much less. If you happen to have one, you’ve come to the right place to figure out how much another collector might be willing to pay for it.

Scroll below to see estimated numismatic coin values for the Liberty Nickels. Our coin price guide lists values as ranges, rather than a specific dollar amount. Locate the date of your nickel and its proper grade, then look at the lower and upper value boundaries. There’s a very good chance your Liberty Nickel is worth somewhere in between these two numbers.

The Liberty Nickel price guide was provided to us by the NumisMaster Coin Values website, where you can go to study coins and currencies from around the world, by accessing the NumisMaster Coin Price Guide.
