The doubling on the shield nickel is strike doubling only.
With proper credit (to me by name - Howard Spindel - and to the website), you can use these photos:...
Shield nickel dates were always punched with a 4-digit gang punch, not individual digits.
Double struck in collar. Most likely date is 1872, but can't be sure.
Best I can tell from the photos: Not a DDO. Machine doubling.
Yes, it is a narrow date. No, it is not rare. Not even especially scarce - can be fairly easily found with some persistence.

I am not sure why these would be credited to Google images. Perhaps you found them with a Google image search? The correct attribution is my...
It's a Liberty nickel, not a shield nickel.
Not the same die.

Would be interested in reading your list if you would like to post. Don't have time to watch a 20 minute video.
It's not an 1883/2. The photos are good enough to verify that.
Nice DDO. Best guess at attribution is F-113. S2-1025, 28-O-IV (Fletcher, SNV, CONECA respectively).
It is real. Not worth sending in for grading, though. That would cost more than the coin is worth.
IMO, the coin shows AU details. I can't tell from the photos whether there is an RPD or not. If there is, it's very minor and would not be worth...
It is a nice RPD. It catalogs as F-104, FS-005.3, and S2-3000. There is no MPD on the coin.
My math was off too. In 1867, die life was about 10000 coins. With 25 million minted, that's about 2500 dies. As the years went on the mint did...
Make money by studying shield nickels? That's a laugh. I lose money every year on my SNV reference work. The only opportunity to make money...
