This 1883 Liberty “Racketeer” Nickel is a rare find for collectors. The “Racketeer” was created to copy the newly released 5c Liberty Nickel. The US mint at the time did not issue the Liberty Nickel with the phrase “cents”.. so then people on the East coast took these “Racketeer” Nickels to pass as $5 coins on the west coast before the corrected Liberty Nickels with the phrase “cents” made their way to California. This “5-cent” coin is a must-have for those interested in US history and coinage. The coin is uncirculated and has been certified by ICG, a reputable grading agency. The strike type is business, and it was minted in Philadelphia. The coin also comes with a certification number of 83776801209. Add this exclusive piece to your collection today! Happy Collecting!
