The Racketeer Nickel & Other Popular Cover Ups
I hit up my second ever coin show over the weekend, and as I salivated over all the rarities I could only DREAM of acquiring one day (some of them were in the tens of thousands of dollars! For just ONE!), my eyes - and wallet - were struck by one coin in particular. An old 5 cent nickel piece which looked to be gold? UPDATE: I now have a coin collecting blog! Check it out!
