<p>[QUOTE="Inspector43, post: 3913524, member: 89213"]One of those History channels had a piece on Jesse James. Jesse was having fun with his gang members. Cocked his gun and they stepped back. He said "I was just Joshing". I sent a letter to the channel letting them know that the "just Joshing" comment didn't come out until after Jesse was dead. Jesse was killed in 1882. The Liberty Nickel came out in 1883. Gold plating the V nickel was the start of the just Joshing comment when a man named Josh was gold platting these coins and trying to pass them off as $5 gold pieces. When caught he would just say he was joking.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, there is plenty of history in coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
