<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lincoln64, post: 17138, member: 1232&quot;]Thanks for the information! </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; </p><p>I found a really helpful website (<a href="http://apps.heritagecoin.com/features/vcc.php" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://apps.heritagecoin.com/features/vcc.php" rel="nofollow">http://apps.heritagecoin.com/features/vcc.php</a>) that has a &quot;Virtual Coin Gallery) in the Liberty nickel section there is a great photo of an uncirculated coin. I think the &quot;wee bit of wear&quot; you mentiond is due to the scan, because when I look at the coin through a loupe it looks pretty much identical to the photo. It has what looks to be mint luster to it and really doesn&#039;t appear to have been cleaned.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think it&#039;s really interesting that a coin that has a history (Racketeer Nickel) is worth less than the coin that was issued to correct the confusion. Seems like the more valuable coin would be the &quot;famous&quot; one (without &quot;cents&quot; on the back). Were more minted w/o cents than w/cents? Any idea why, besides market preference?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
