<p>[QUOTE="buddy16cat, post: 1554956, member: 37356"]Yes, I am not going to worry about if that 3 cent nickel has an error, could be the pic. Interesting thing about the racketeer nickel I notice is that the details are much better on sections of the coin still gold and there is wear in areas that aren't. I do realize about that though even if it was authentic and not made later, you need to have documentation of the fact but people on Ebay have paid a decent premium. I also think that it is interesting the hole on the half cent is square and the coin itself is squared off, so the fact it was hung for luck using a square nail is plausible and nails were square in the 1800s. I couldn't find anything about the counterstamp on the flying eagle except for the fact it was on a list of counterstamps at exonumia. Some pay premiums on these and some have went for the value of the coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
