<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mad Stax, post: 2810788, member: 79993&quot;]Hey everyone, I&#039;ve been curious about this for awhile... why are 1883 w/ cents nickels worth more than 1883 no cents nickels?</p><p>I&#039;ve tried to figure out a logical conclusion but have been unable to. You&#039;d think the no cents variety would command a higher premium being that only 5+ million of them were minted, as opposed to 16+ million for the w/ cents variety.</p><p>I also figured less of the no cents varieties would have survived untarnished as many were gold plated and passed off as $5 gold pieces.</p><p>And lastly, I would have thought that being the only V nickels of this reverse design would make them a novelty to collectors and further enhance their value.</p><p>Clearly I&#039;m missing something here, knowing me it&#039;s probably clear as can be and I&#039;ve just failed to notice, but does anyone have info on why the w/ cents variety has a higher book value?</p><p>Thanks in advance.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
