worldnumis Pillar of the Community United States 731 Posts	Posted 05/31/2015 6:55 pm The only thing I can think of, is the fact 1883 nickels were struck with the shield design and the Liberty head and they are distinguishing between the two. Report this Post to the Staff

I guess it is just too obvious obvious that it means it is an 1883 Shield nickel not an 1883 Liberty head V nickel. Report this Post to the Staff
