WC when referring to an 1883 Liberty head nickel means "Without Cents"

When first introduced, the coin only carried the Roman numeral "V" (= 5) on the reverse side, but not the word "cents". Very quickly, crooks started gold-plating the coins and passing them off as "a new type of $5 gold piece". The Mint then modified the design by adding "cents" below the wreath on the reverse.
