First struck in 1883, Liberty Head Nickels displayed only a large Roman numeral "V" to indicate five cents. Criminals soon plated them with gold and passed them off as "new" $5 gold coins. The U.S. Mint quickly added the word CENTS to all subsequent issues, and today Liberty Head Nickels are one of America's favorite coins.
