<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kirkuleez, post: 2219515, member: 36864&quot;]Some of the early 1883 liberty nickels were gold plated and passed as five dollar gold pieces; they were called &quot;racketeer&quot; nickels. I don&#039;t know if this one was done back in the day, but many were plated after the fact and sold to tell the story. I personally consider this damaged, but some would pay maybe ten bucks for it. I suppose if you could somehow prove that this was an original playing done in 1883, it could carry a bit more premium. Later in 1883, the word cents was added to the reverse to prevent any confusion.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
