<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kentucky, post: 3118538, member: 33176&quot;]In 1883 the new nickel design started to be struck and they had forgotten to put cents on the reverse.&nbsp; The legend grew that people gold plated these and tried to pass them as the &quot;new&quot; 5-dollar gold piece.&nbsp; This might be odd since the diameter of a nickel is 21.21 mm and the 5-dollar gold was 16.50 mm.&nbsp; Consider the commotion of people mistaking the new Susie B dollars for quarters...</p><p><br /></p><p>Fun fact, they changed the design later in the year to correct the &quot;error&quot; and started to put &quot;cents&quot; on the back...&nbsp; Which is the more valuable...</p><p><br /></p><p>Actually the &quot;with cents&quot; sells for more than the centless variety.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
