Was the speaker referring to the five cent coin that, when plated with gold, was amazingly similar to a five dollar gold piece?  |

It's actually from an article from 1869 that says the House of Representatives has passed a law to mint $20 million dollars worth of nickel coinage (the cent, Three Cent peice, and the nickel). That quote was actually from the Treasurer. I found it to be pretty harsh, especially coming from the treasurer. |

Do you have a link or is this a print article?
Do not let Prethen find out that someone used those words to describe a 3CN!

So I guess that Treasurer wasn't one of Wharton's chums? LOL.
