<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dannic113, post: 1342840, member: 35203&quot;]Let&#039;s also not forget that this is the racketeering nickel. Plate it in gold and many merchants at the time would have given you silver and copepr change back thinking they were getting a $5 gold piece. Hense why the with cents variety. So for that reason alone people hoarded them to try to make a dishonest buck. Plus once this was found out then zach24 and H8 modern&#039;s comment comes into play about the gov&#039;t. confiscating them add that to Hobo&#039;s point about people collecting first and last year issues. Now you have coins that sat in draws and metal boxes and other years were spent as money and heavily circulated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
