As always when asked this question... BACON!!!

 

Not as lovely a Longacre design as his Indian Head Cent, but historic non the less.
Nice example Paddy54,

Nice looking but it’s not the 3/2.

 

I checked all five 1883/2 varieties and both RPDs and this one doesn't seem to match any of them.

Prepared to be wrong.

 

Nice. About 5 years ago I wanted a cool doubled die version of a shield nickel. Well that never happened....yet.

 

If you are asking:

"Is this the overdate?"

1) It helps to ask a question.

2) It ain't

 

Correct..... but my shield poster child as to just how many varieties there are in the series that are still not known, or recognized. And they never seem to disapoint a variety collector.

 

Frank shouldn't you be doing taxes, or taking a nap? There a question lol

 

And we went from a Shield Nickel to Beggin Strips made with real bacon in 5 hours, 14 minutes.

 

If it helps I think yours is as pretty as mine

Just an FYI, GC has an 1883/2 listed at the moment.

 

The Capitol Holder makes a world of difference, they are all very nice. Thanks for sharing the Shield and the set.

 

My thoughts? I like it.

 

I like it.

 

While we're on a Shield Nickel Spread, I see some clash marks or breaks on this one, but have no idea if it is a known variety indicating a die injury or some post mint injury.

 

I'm usually doing both

 

My BIL is our accountant and he's just getting started with doing returns , as his clients have not received all their papperwork needed. Plus Lord what over 6 million returns from last year not been processed.
It looks like a long tax season for you guys...dont blame you for the naps.
