                Why is the Liberty Head Nickel (1883-1912) historically significant?
These nickels represent a pivotal era in U.S. coinage:
- Design Legacy: Charles Barber’s final Liberty-themed coin before the Buffalo Nickel replaced it in 1913.
- Economic Context: Minted during America’s industrial boom ("Gilded Age"), reflecting post-Civil War growth and currency standardization.
- Rarity: Low-mintage years (e.g., 1885, 1886, 1912-S) are highly sought-after by collectors, making complete sets valuable for both history and investment.

- Educational Value: The album and coin inscriptions (e.g., Roman numerals, mint marks) make it easy to learn about U.S. numismatics while building a foundational collection.
