<p>[QUOTE="Kentucky, post: 25330596, member: 33176"]In 1883 the mint brought out the "new" design for the nickel. First year they forgot to put "cents" on the reverse and the myth was born that people gold-plated them and passed them for the new $5 gold piece...probably either not true or rarely done. Later in the year, they re-designed them and put "Cents" on the reverse and made LOTS more. Kicker, the no-cents is worth less than the cents version because so many people saved the anomaly.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
