I just always check the completed listings on
ebay, which for stuff like this, is always a decent source for what something is worth and I figure to add in the cost of shipping as part of the value.
Lets see ....
Well I looked and there were no circulated purchases. I also noticed there were some with lots of steps but then, maybe that is why they were up for sale with hopes to get some premium prices.
I mean who is buying a 1983 P or D when there are so many other things to list.
My guess and only a guess is that a solid date of AU 1983 P or D nickels might get 10 bucks plus maybe a few dollars for shipping. Maybe they are worth 20 cents a pc. maybe up to a dollar shipped in a 2x2 in a simple 1st class envelope depending on how nice, I mean they'll have to fill a hole in a set and be good enough if someone is tired of looking for a nice one.
A BU range is kind of vast. I'll bet if you had a true MS 65 full stepper it would surprise you for either P or D and especially D.
I don't think $85 bucks is out of the question for something like that at all. Nuts huh? I know but check out PCGS .... It's one of the key full steppers in the recent years.

Just my guesstimate, but I know how tough these 83's can be.
