IS THERE A 1883 NICKEL NO CENTS LISTED ERROR 0 Entry posted by 3PSETCFORKIDS · June 30, 2018 1,082 views 0
coinsbygary Posted June 30, 2018 This is not an error coin. Cents was intentionally left out of the design. As a result people gold plated this nickel and passed it off as a half-eagle and the nickel earned the name "racketeer nickel". Later in 1883 the word cents was added to the nickel to prevent this fraud. Link to comment
Six Mile Rick Posted July 1, 2018 There is a variety listed that has a lower 1 stem coming from the base of the first 8 in the date. Link to comment

Just Bob Posted July 1, 2018 Thanks. I sort of figured that was where you found it, since it wasn't on Variety Vista. I have volume two, that I bought years ago to check my Roosevelts, but I guess I should go ahead and get the first volume as well. (Probably need to upgrade my 4th edition vol.2 also) Link to comment
