Also picked up this high grade Liberty nickel. This is the first year of issue and before 'Cents" was added to the design. These are the ones, so the stories go, that were gold plated in the hope of passing them off as 5 dollar gold pieces - the "Racketeer" Nickel . Later in 1883 the design was changed and "cents" appears from then on. Even in high grades, these are relatively low-priced.

I really like closely inspecting new acquisitions. Check out these hairline die cracks - not at all unusual for early nickels. I imagine these would disappear with wear rather quickly.
