1891 Liberty Head Nickel

The 1891 Liberty Head nickel saw widespread circulation and use in late 19th-century America. A great many products were priced at 5¢, and a remarkable array of coin-operated devices cost 5¢ to use. These included such newfangled inventions as weighing scales, strength testers, gambling machines, and horoscope dispensers! Today, these century-old mechanical marvels are highly sought-after collectibles, as are the historic Liberty Head nickels that operated them!
