[QUOTE="cpm9ball, post: 2537584, member: 24633"]Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but it was my understanding that the Racketeer Nickels were not gold-plated but dipped in a gold wash which probably contained no real gold. If that was the case, I would think that decades of circulation would wear away much of the gold wash. I would be very suspect if I saw one in the condition of the one posted by the OP. Chris[/QUOTE]
