<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chip, post: 910905, member: 19122&quot;]An 1883 no cents Liberty nickel, I would say that it is about a fine 15 but the scratch in ms liberties hair is a deep enough gouge that I would knock it down to about a 10 or 12. An interesting thing I heard about this coin was that they were sometimes called a racketeer nickel, unscrupulous people would gold plate it and pass it as being a five dollar gold piece, back when 5 dollars was a lot of money. So the mint added the cents to the coin to stop that racket.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
