The 1877,1878 are proof only - with the 1877 being very expensive. Then the 1879,1880 and 1881 business strikes are very expensive even in AG condition. Then 1882 and 1883 are also easy to find in low grades.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now what is fun with shield nickel is collecting some of the varieties. I have 6 or 7 of the DDO shield nickels - some of these can be found, but not always cheap. On occasion you can cherry pick one off the bay.
