    Most of their stuff is Way over priced. However, this could be sold to someone else as a fake.

    Especially sad since they can't even spell "racketeer" properly!

    It's expensive but you're not only getting the cool coin. It comes in the original custom made proprietary packaging!!!

    I wonder if all of these were at least AU before they were plated.

    The coin should come with a complimentary barf-bag. You can get a relatively nice Unc. of this coin for a few hundred bucks.

    Feh, Racketeer nickels were passed in the 1880s to try and turn a nickel into a five dollar gold piece. I'm sure this is the same crappy plating they put on the "gold" editions of the Westward nickels. $6.00 nickel with 70 cents in plating.

    ... And the racket continues well into a second century - 123 years of people making money on misrepresenting the value of this coin image

    More likely G to VG. That's the grade of most of the "Racketeer" nickels that I see.

    A few hundred? I got an MS63 for $40 or so a few years back. I guess it wasn't "nice," though. image
