Message:: [QUOTE="kountryken, post: 26262885, member: 89798"]Sal, you asked this question, but I was traveling so I didn't have time or anything to help me look at it better. So, I just able to consider your question. I had also seen the "5", but I don't know what is "chatter" or what is "Doubled"? (Are those even the correct terms?). I'll describe it this way. The "5" has a "shadow effect", maybe? Also, the stars below the 5 have the same appearance, at least, to me. I cannot find any letters that have this appearance. They seem to be perfectly aligned. I've not searched extensively, but, so far I haven't found another 1866 Shield Nickel like this. I also noticed that the last "6" in the date would appear to be a little "high"? Also, possibly slightly larger than the first 6? This perhaps from being struck, slightly flattened to make it appear larger? Maybe just playing tricks with the eyes? As soon as I post this, I'm going to be trying to research this better. Thanks for looking.
