Oddly_Creative New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 06/19/2020 4:42 pm I recently acquired a 1883 Shield nickel, and the seller said he thought there was a variety with the date on it. What do you guys think? (I think that there is no variety.) Report this Post to the Staff

Oddly_Creative New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 06/19/2020 5:41 pm I don't know if the images are good enough, but can you also give a grade? (I'm very bad at it.) Report this Post to the Staff
Finn70 Valued Member United States 249 Posts	Posted 06/19/2020 9:36 pm The obverse pic is too blurry to assess a grade or otherwise. The reverse pic is okay, seems to have a descent strike. Your close up pic was very good. Report this Post to the Staff
Oddly_Creative New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 06/20/2020 1:37 pm Hopefully these images are better! Also, can the repunch on the date be attributed to any FS variety? Report this Post to the Staff

Finn70 Valued Member United States 249 Posts	Posted 06/21/2020 9:26 pm Pictures are much better! I use only my phone camera for posting my coin pics, so mine aren't the best either. Many of the coin community members have more advanced equipment and have great photography skills. I don't see a comparable repunched date FS listing for your 1883 Shield nickel. Definitely not the 83/2 overdate. As far as a grade. XF45 possibly AU50. Solid strike on the reverse! Hopefully a Shield nickel enthusiast will have another opinion for you.
