[QUOTE="cannoncoins, post: 1178167, member: 28659"]Hey Cointalkers, particularly shield nickel experts- So, a little random, I bought this coin off of eBay from an ad without a photo selling an "uncirculated" 1883 shield nickel, so I buy it at a pretty low price (I know, crazy, but I knew it was crazy) and got it today and it does look pretty nice to the naked eye, all though the reverse looks cleaned/hairlined (no shocker there).

It looks to me like theres a little something above the 3, definitely something in the inner loop, a filled 8... Major die crack on "IN." Am I looking at anything here guys?
