1868 Shield Nickel RPD

This looks like FS-302(003.3). I don't have a Cherrypicker's Guide for value. Alittle help please.

Okay, The obv die crack thru the date is not visible, but, assuming you correctly id'd the variety correctly:

in F-12 condition it is listed at $75, vs a 'Normal' coin at $25

 

This example doesn't have the die crack either.

Saw this link too more odd is MS64 cents defined the AU58 hyphenated like yours?

 

Might be FS-902 reverse too

 

I see from old thread. Paddy54 has one.

I have one also . It's a FS-902 . Part of the C in Cents and Last S in Cents re missing. Not sure what's going on the Date on the Obverse.

 

The 6 and 8 on the date look a bit odd. Where is paddyman when you need him, out digging I bet. Some very good opinions though. Thanks and good luck.

 

Nice find

 

Calling @Paddy54 Where are you?

 

Die cracks aren't always present on a variety coin. Depending on die state they may or not be present.
I concur the variety.
68 with the reverse of 68 you can see all the different hubs in the cpg I believe this to be llb hub.
Notice the broken c as well broken s in cents.

 

Here's a 1869 tall date very rare variety

Most 1869 digits are very thick .

 

What’s with the chain in the background?

 

Chain?

 

You did good. I like when I clearly see a possible mistake.

 

Here are my pics of coin.

 

What’s above (in god obverse) under the coin ?

 

I don't understand your question.
