You ever hear "Don't Josh me" or "I'm just joshin' " This originated in 1883 because a criminal named Josh Tatum made a ton of money by gold plating the 1883 Liberty Nickel and passing it off as a $5 gold coin. Remember a nickel was a full days worth of work for many. Visit http://www.coincollectinginfo.com for more fun facts on coins!
