<p>[QUOTE=&quot;davidh, post: 448734, member: 15062&quot;]To me, stories of the gold-plated V-Nickels are a bit overblown.&nbsp; It&#039;s hard to believe that many people would be fooled by that since the design is nowhere close to the quarter eagles.&nbsp; This is not to say that some people weren&#039;t fooled but I doubt that it was epidemic.&nbsp; As far as their continued circulation, the thin gold coating rapidly wore off and they probably continued circulating as nickels.</p><p><br /></p><p>Given that some of these nickels were plated and circulated, I&#039;ve often wondered if any nickel three-cent pieces were similarly plated and passed off as three dollar gold pieces.&nbsp; The designs were much closer and passing them might have been a bit easier.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
