<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 2096498, member: 26302&quot;]There were actually stories in all major newspapers talking about how the No Cents nickels were worth $5. Now, what happened is they confused the racketeer nickel story, (gold plating the new nickels and passing them off as $5 gold pieces), but newpapers back then were not well known for their editorial control, especially certain papers. It was the era that spawned the term &quot;yellow journalism&quot;. So, every toll booth operator, subway collector, etc inspected every nickel they got and saved the &quot;no cents&quot; nickels.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Its a classic case of coins the general public THINK will be valuable in the future never will. Just look at bicentennial coins everyone saved.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
