That's awesome! I've been super active this past month as well. I'm about to pick some more V nickels up now as we speak, along with a few really nice Indian Head Pennies. Got my first Morgan silver dollar, picking up my first Peace Silver Dollar soon, and within the next month or so I'll be actively seeking out a Carson City Morgan. I have to have at least one lol

The thing about the Racketeer nickels is that real ones would have been plated right after they came out so genuine ones would either be Uncirculated, uncirculated with light wear on the gold plating, or noticeable wear with no plating in the worn areas. The vast majority of "racketeer nickels" seen today are coins grading Good with the gold plating unbroken over the whole coin. These are clearly heavily worn coins plated recently and not coins plated in 1883 and worn down.
