That's amazing CC. Not just the die cracks in the exact locations but look at that marker right at the top of the second vertical column on the shield, second in from the right.......identical!!

Now that is really cool. You must have been either incredibly lucky or incredibly vigilant to find the sibling coin!

USSID18, Good eye! That's an identical Cud on both shields.

krhudson1, It was part luck and part vigilance, I guess.

There are several Shield nickels with a missing leaf variety. Here is one with an arrow pointing to where the leaf should be:
