Good stuff.  1883 was the first year of the Liberty = V- nickel, and there were two varieties.  Originally the word 'Cents' was not at the bottom of the reverse and clever/larcenous alterers were coating them in gold and passing them off as $5 gold pieces. Interestingly, the "no cents" version was 1/3 as common (in terms of mintage) as the "with cents" version and yet it is less valuable.  This is an interesting but common

I know, it's kinda odd but oh well. Just so happened the one I found was the no cents version. I've got a couple of the 83 w/cents that I picked up (non dug) so I was happy this one didn't have it. Thanks for the input, enjoyed reading it.
