<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jimmy-bones, post: 49345, member: 2794&quot;]I found at my local coin dealer today an 1883 &quot;No Cents&quot; V Nickel. The condition I think is surburb (a conservative AU). I fell in love with it and had to buy it!&nbsp; At only $8.00 what could I loose (except $7.95) <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> .&nbsp; My question is...Why does this coin with a circulation of only 5.4 million still have such a low value in all grades?&nbsp; It&#039;s sister,&nbsp; the 1883 &quot;With Cents&quot; has a production of over 16 million and commands $100+ in AU and above.&nbsp; Even comparable mintages such as the 1894, 1895, and 1896 command premiums of $100+ in such grades?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Also, these were the same V nickles gold plated and passed off as $5 gold coins at the time of prodcution. I would assume that would further deplete the 5.4 million number of untampered coins.&nbsp; What am I missing? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie5" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
