Extra Fine 1883 Liberty "Racketeer" Gold Plated V-Nickel

Racketeer Nickel was essentially a scam back when the first batch of nickels minted and due to lack of denomination, or no "CENT" on the coin, someone plated these essentially nickels in gold and passed it off as 5 dollars. It was only after that was exposed the government wised up and added "CENT" to nickels minted later thaqt year. The parcel in the last picture indicated that it is a 5 Dollar coin, which is incorrect, as the actual $5 gold coin would have The American Eagle on verso. Extra fine condition. .
