What is the history and value of a 1906 silver coin with thirteen stars around a woman's head and E Pluribus Unum on the back along with a V?

To clear thing up:

> It's not silver, it's made of nickel.

> It's not just a "woman's" head, it's Miss Liberty.

> E Pluribus Unum appears on nearly ALL US Coins so that's not an identifying detail.

> The coin's denomination, Five Cents, is right there under the V = Roman numeral for 5.

That done, your Liberty nickel is worth about $3 in average worn condition, $5 if moderately worn, and $11 if nearly new.
