<p>[QUOTE=&quot;vdbpenny1995, post: 2093627, member: 32122&quot;]Its an 1883 v nickel plated gold. Its plated gold because back in those times, people would plate 1883 &quot;no cents&quot; nickels and pass them off as $5 coins in dim light places such as bars and get back $4+ in change which at the time was a lot of money. Plating is most likely recent and was probably broken out of a cardboard display explaining the history of gold plated 1883 &quot;no cents&quot; nickels[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
