<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rad1964, post: 613082, member: 18557&quot;]I went &#039;fishing&#039; on eBay this week and saw a nice coin I thought I would bid on. The 1883 Shield Nickel is in AU+ condition from what I can tell.</p><p><br /></p><p>In the description the guy added that he pulled the coin from a collection and it came from slot 1883/82. I tried to blow up the coin pics in Photoshop but could not determine one way or the other. </p><p><br /></p><p>I then tried to look up certain characteristics of dies in the 1883/82 varieties, but alas I was tired, and perhaps gotten it wrong when I saw a die crack from the obverse bottom, right leaf, that went down to the rim, which appeared to fit one of the varieties dies.</p><p><a href="http://www.shieldnickels.net/1883_2/fs013.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.shieldnickels.net/1883_2/fs013.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.shieldnickels.net/1883_2/fs013.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Of course I will know more and post pics when I receive it.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am keeping the coin if its strictly an 1883 Shield Nickel. If it is the error coin, I will likely sell it as errors are probably not going to be concentrated on in my collection.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
