- Lot Description
- 1883/2 Shield Nickel. FS-302 (FS-013.1). MS-64 (NGC). Fully impressed and highly lustrous, this otherwise satiny example also reveals hints of semi-prooflike reflectivity as the surfaces rotate under a light. Untoned, and also free of significant blemishes. The overdate feature is readily evident and bold when examined with the aid of a loupe. Scarce!<br /> There are several different varieties of the 1883/2 Shield Nickel, with FS-301 and FS-302 being perhaps the most visually dramatic and, thus, desirable among collectors.
