Lot Description

1883/2 Shield Nickel. FS-302. MS-64 (NGC). CAC. A beautiful coin irrespective of variety, both sides exhibit vivid reddish-gold peripheral toning that gives way to softer powder blue and pastel lilac iridescence toward the centers. Highly lustrous and satiny throughout, razor sharp striking detail is also seen from the rims to the centers. FS-302 is one of the boldest overdates for the 1883 Shield nickel, here offered in rare, premium Choice Mint State quality. Provenance: From the Q. David Bowers Collection. NGC Census (FS-302 attribution only): 2; 3 finer (MS-66 finest). This piece, certified in an older holder with the attribution rendered as FS-013.1, might not be included in the current online version of the NGC Census. The corresponding PCGS Population is 2/1 (MS-64+ finest). PCGS# 3814. NGC ID: 22PD. Click here for certification details from NGC.
