A report has been widely circulat- |
ed that the metal in a nickel five
cent piece is worth six cents. This |
report lead many people TO dream of
getting rich by gathering in and melt
ing up nickles. 1t is now authoritively
asserted that the metal in this coin is
worth only cents, and any persons
who have been nursing bright dream
Of accommodating a large quantity of
the coins and selling them at a profit
Of twenty cents on the dollar, are
booked for sad disappointment. The
metal value of the coin has not in
creased and probably never will in
,rease above its face value.
