<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bluetip84, post: 830347, member: 23028&quot;]Hello Everyone. This 1872 Shield Nickel I picked up a few weeks ago I got it for a good price because the seller had it graded lower than I think it is. When I was looking closer at it I noticed some possible doubling on various locations on the coin (D in “united” S and T in “states” several of the stars and the 5). Also the S in “Cents” is missing the lower part of the S and I don’t think this is because of wear. Also the circle under the cross has something going on. I think I have an interesting die variety that could be identified but I don’t own the cherry pickers guide. I was hoping someone could take a look and tell me what you think. Also if anyone can point me towards a website with any information on VAM nickels I would appreciate it. I did a search and could not find much information about Shield nickels. Any help would be great. I have attached several photos and links larger pics. I can get others if they are needed. Thanks in advance for any help.:smile</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc1/jerhull/Coins/img013.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc1/jerhull/Coins/img013.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc1/jerhull/Coins/img013.jpg</a></p><p><a href="http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc1/jerhull/Coins/img014.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc1/jerhull/Coins/img014.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc1/jerhull/Coins/img014.jpg</a></p><p><a href="http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc1/jerhull/Coins/img016.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc1/jerhull/Coins/img016.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc1/jerhull/Coins/img016.jpg</a></p><p><a href="http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc1/jerhull/Coins/img015.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc1/jerhull/Coins/img015.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc1/jerhull/Coins/img015.jpg</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
