<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mark_h, post: 26646276, member: 3726&quot;]Nice pickup.&nbsp; I love the shield nickels just for all the varieties that are available.&nbsp; I recommend if anyone learns anything on the series - learn to recognize some of the major varieties like the 1883/2.&nbsp; Also learn the difference between an 1882 filled 2 versus the 83/2.&nbsp; I still see auctions with these and even the last show I went to a dealer had one listed as 83/2 - needless to say once I saw that I mentioned it and was told I did not know what I was talking about - I just walked away. You can still cherry pick some of these for profit.&nbsp; Now my most fun shield nickels to find are the missing leaf (considered a minor variety), but I still search for them.&nbsp; Here are a few of them - I think I actually have 6 to 8 of them.&nbsp; Then the DDO are also pretty much fun to find - all of the ones I have left are low grade, but I like seeing the double annulet and leaves.&nbsp; Oops - forgot to mention <a href="https://www.shieldnickels.net/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.shieldnickels.net/" rel="nofollow">https://www.shieldnickels.net/</a> another favorite site of mine.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1699718[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1699719[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
