1883 Shield Nickel

Is this an 1883/2 shield nickel variety. Here is a link to Howards website https://www.shieldnickels.net/1883_2/fs013_1.html. I think it is. Can't wait to get it to get closeup of the date and crack.

Well done! Looks like a winner.

 

Well, I can't see the 3/2 in your pictures, but the die crack looks good.

 

I think it is.

 

A pic redo would be nice, I can't see the 3/2 either. Thanks, and good luck.

 

I downloaded it and cropped it for him...

 

No doubt in my mind you've scored yourself a home run there.

@SensibleSal66's enlargement of the date shows the die crack running through the 3, and the underlying 2. The full obverse pic also shows and confirms the die crack running from the 'D to the W' in IGWT. Additionally, it shows the die crack from the top of the left wreath to the cross.

All the markers are present IMO.

Care to share who and what the grade is?
