<p>[QUOTE=&quot;clembo, post: 255569, member: 8033&quot;]Ok, I&#039;m just sharing stuff today. I was digging for something (still haven&#039;t found it) but found some other stuff. Here&#039;s a racketeer Nickel.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x275/clembo1872/rac0001.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x275/clembo1872/rac0001.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x275/clembo1872/rac0001.jpg</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x275/clembo1872/rac0002.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x275/clembo1872/rac0002.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x275/clembo1872/rac0002.jpg</a></p><p><br /></p><p>For those that don&#039;t know a &quot;racketeer nickel&quot; is an 1883 No Cent variety nickel. People started to gold plate them and pass them off as $5 gold pieces. A nice profit especially back then.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have my doubts as to if this is an &quot;original&quot; even though it&#039;s in a holder from The American Historical Society which certifies that the artifact contained herein is genuine and authentic.</p><p><br /></p><p>Real or not it&#039;s a good looking example of scams from the past.</p><p><br /></p><p>These guys (racketeers) would have made a killing on ebay![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
