America's Original Gold & Silver Plated Coins!!! This is one of America’s most unusual coin sets... and a stunning piece of history! When the first Liberty “V” Nickels were struck in 1883, crooks realized they were about the same size as $5 gold coins... and actually plated them in gold and passed them off as $5 gold coins! A few years later in 1896, silver-plated Indian Head Pennies were given out in the Presidential campaign by Democratic Presidential candidate William Jennings Bryan, who tried to make a point that the United States should be on the silver standard as well as the gold standard. These were America’s first “gold” Nickel and “silver” Penny. This amazing collection brings history to life with a genuine Liberty “V” Nickel plated in 24 Karat Pure Gold and an Indian Head Penny plated in .999 Fine Silver by the Morgan Mint.
