About this product

Product Information

<h2>Ron Guth</h2><p>In 1883, mint officials changed the design on the Five-Cents denomination.&nbsp; A head of Liberty wearing a coronet replaced the old Shield design.&nbsp; On the reverse, a wreath repalced the stars and a large Roman numeral &quot;V&quot; replaced the old Arabic numeral 5.&nbsp; Another, seemingly inconsequential change created all sorts of problems when the new coins came out -- the motto &quot;E Pluribus Unum&quot; took the place of the word &quot;CENTS.&quot;&nbsp; Taking advantage of this omission, enterprising individuals plated the new nickels with gold, then passed them off as new Five Dollar gold pieces.&nbsp; Enough people were fooled that mint officials recognized the problem and fixed it by restoring the word CENTS to its usual place at the bottom of the coin and moved the motto to above the wreath on the reverse.&nbsp; This change occurred in 1883, creating two major varieties for the year.</p><p>The so-called &quot;No CENTS&quot; variety is common in all; grades including Mint State.&nbsp; Literally thousands of MS-63, MS-64, and MS-65 examples have been certified by PCGS.&nbsp; Even MS-66 examples are common.&nbsp; In MS-67, the population drops off a cliff, with PCGS reporting only 16 examples (as of September 2011), with none finer.</p>

    I apologize for the delay in providing my feedback. I received item Order Number 10-13360-05521 some time ago, but I'm only now able to provide feedback. The item is of high quality and is in excellent condition. The price was reasonable, and shipping wasn't too expensive. It was very well packaged, and there was no damage during transit. it has a good appearance and everything is as described, and I'm very satisfied with this purchase. Thank you very much for your attention. Best regards.

    The measuring cup is perfect- totally matched the pictures. Excellent value for a competitive price. Well packed , although there was an overwhelming amount of tape. I peeled it all off in order to recycle the box. Item was exactly as described and arrived in good time.
