How much is a 1883 coin of queen elizabeth worth?

Question

it has a V on the back and in fine print its says e pluribus unum

Answer 1

The Queen and monarch in 1883 was not Elizabeth. Elizabeth 1 was 1558-1603 and Elizabeth 11 is 1952-present. Victoria was Queen  in 1883. Your coin can't be in ver goo condition!

Answer 2

Well, first of all, there was no "Queen Elizabeth" in 1883.

Second, the saying "e pluribus unum" is the motto of the United States, so this is a US coin.

Third, the "V" indicates that this is a Nickle or 5 cent coin.

The "Face/head/bust you see on the coin is "Lady Liberty".

The worth/value depends on the condition of the coin.  The better the condition, the more it will be worth.

It also depends on the rarity of the coin, or how many were minted.

I did a web search and one coin similar in very good condition was listed for more that $30.  Your coin could be worth a lot more or a lot less.

Hope this helps.

Good Luck!

Answer 3

It's a fake.  not worth anything.

Queen Elizabeth was born in, like 1933 or so, and there was no such pn nor royal in 1883.

Also.  E pluribus Unum...An American thing.  Not going to be found on the same coin as ANY king or queen.

Answer 4

Aggghhh!   Queen Elizabeth?   The Founding Fathers are spinning in their graves!

That's Liberty on that 1883 'V' nickel.  Never mind that Elizabeth wasn't born for another forty years or so.

There are two different versions of this issue, the 'cents' and 'no cents' varieties.  On the reverse, below the V, it will say cents or it won't.  The 'cents' variety is harder to find and worth more.  Next, look on the front at Liberty's headdress.  If the word 'Liberty' is fully readable, it's a better coin.  If it's partially readable, less so, and if it's totally worn away, the rest of the coin will show plenty of wear as well.

Condition is the most important factor, and to know the accurate condition, you either must be an experienced collector or take it to a coin dealer.  No one here can tell you without seeing it.  Having said that, a 'cents' version in Good condition (a grade of 4) is worth $5 to $10 and a 'no cents' around $2.  Go up to an extra fine (grade 40, which to the untrained eye, looks like a coin with very little wear) and the values soar for the 'cents' version to $80+ and the 'no cents' goes up to around $10.

Answer 5

There is no such thing.  The curent Queen Elizabeth didn't become queen until 1952.  Her Mother who was also Queen Elizabeth became Queen when her husband was crowned in 1937.  Queen Elizabeth I was queen more then 300 years before that coin was minted.
