The 1912-D Liberty Head nickel was struck during the only year when any of the coins in the series were struck at branch mints.

For its part, the 1912-D is scarcer than most other issues in the series. Less than 8.5 million were minted, and it is one of just eight official business-strike regular-issues with a mintage of less than 10 million pieces.

The Liberty Head nickel was designed by Charles E. Barber, who is the namesake behind the Barber (officially “Liberty Head”) dime, quarter and half dollar; some hobbyists have similarly dubbed the Liberty Head nickel as the “Barber” nickel, though this has not been common practice. The 1912-D Liberty Head nickel features a leftward-facing bust of Miss Liberty, whose hair is tied into a bun behind her head. She is crowned with a tiara bearing the inscription “LIBERTY.”
