<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collecting Nut, post: 8505901, member: 74863&quot;]The problems with both nickels have nothing to do with each other. The problem with the liberty nickel when it was first introduced to the public only had a V Roman numeral. This resulted in a man named Josh Tatum gold plating them and passing them off as a five dollar gold piece.</p><p><br /></p><p>Liberty nickels we’re very similar to a five dollar gold piece which circulated freely at that time. Eventually Mr. Tatum was arrested and charged however he was deaf and dumb. He never claimed that the nickel was a five dollar goal piece. He just handed it and received the change for merchants who didn’t notice the difference. As a result the change occurred in the first year of the liberty nickel to make it a nickel.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
