<p>[QUOTE="north49guy, post: 521948, member: 16065"]Yes, halfway threw that year the mint put 'CENTS' where you see E PLURBIS UNIM. This is because people would take these 5 cent pieces and gold plate them and pass them off as gold $5 pieces. This is what you have. It is called a "racketeer nickel". I am not sure as to if yours is authentically plated or one that someone plated recently to get more value out of the coin but i'm sure someone will come along and tell you.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
