Thanks! I'm hoping it will go low end MS and not AU. I don't really see any circulation wear on the high points but it has enough marks that I could see it grading a bit lower.

True! Lots of known die stages on that page. I am quite sure JC would love to list all the die stages if images were submitted. So looking at the known die stages on the Shield nickel site, I can guess that the cud-01 for this year is actually FS-303 although not noted on cuds-on-coins as such. The coin in this posting is the only Retained Cud die stage listed for FS-303. https://cuds-on-coins.com/shield-nickel-rcd/And speaking of such, according to the linked Shield nickel page this coin would be an unlisted die stage between F-10b+ and F-10c as it has two cracks from the second 8 toward the rim. It has arrived back from PCGS and went MS62, so quite happy with the result (cert 58923691 if you want to see the true view). I had FS-303 put on the label, but did not submit it as an error coin for the Retained Cud. With PCGS if a coin is graded as a mint error it gets a special number and can not be added to a registry. |

wow, that's pretty sharp. I'm having trouble seeing the 2 though, is it not easily seen?

I agree that the underlying 2 is quite hard to see on these. There are some images online that show the early die stage of this coin and you can see it a bit better, but overall it's not super obvious by any means.
