I'm certainly no expert in this issue, but it looks more like the doubled die obverse 1-0-IV on page 217 of the 2001 2nd edition printing of the CPG. The Red Book Guide to Shield and Liberty nickels, page 103, indicates about 60 different doubled dies for this date. Kind of a wild year at the mint, I guess.  Edited by hunter20ga

I think it is more likely the 9-0-IV, page 225. The 1-0-IV shows doubling at the top of the annulet and wider seperation at the ring on the bottom of the annulet and the 10-II-IV the doubling is offset to the right, not north south as in Amazon's photo |

There's 9 pg just for the 1868 so as Hunter said it has a lot of die type!

Didn't know there were so many varieties for 1868. I guess I'll have to wait for my CPG to come in. Thanks.

Amazon did you get BEAUTIFUL as a nickel, or as an error nickel?

I agree with the 9-O-IV, it seems to match the picture in the CherryPickers Guide, another great Longacre design. Real sweet coin, Edited by daveyn

I got it as a nickel off of ebay. I didn't notice the doubling at first, until I was taking pictures of her and using the zoom feature on the camera when I was viewing them. Got her for $38  |

$38 makes it an even sweeter deal, also like the nice little die crack from the rim at 12:00 through the TR in TRUST.
super coin,
