edweather Pillar of the Community United States 7375 Posts	Posted 02/26/2016 8:09 pm Is there a site that has photos of all the Shield nickel varieties? Would this be called a repunched date? I also see a doubling on one of the arrows. The reverse has the parts of some of the letters in UNITED STATES OF AMERICA that are missing. thanks, Ed Report this Post to the Staff

edweather Pillar of the Community United States 7375 Posts	Posted 02/27/2016 3:26 pm Ok, thanks, MD it is. I've seen a couple of sites with some crazy long lists of the Shield nickel varieties, but none with photos of all of them. Does anyone know about the full version of the Shield nickel Viewer software? Does it have all varieties? Is there a free site somewhere, or a book I can buy that has pics of all varieties. How about the Cherrypickers book? I seem to be more interested in Shield nickels than any other series, but if I want to see any varieties other than the common/popular ones, it gets a bit tough. tHanks, Ed Report this Post to the Staff
MeadowviewCollector Pillar of the Community United States 4409 Posts	Posted 02/27/2016 9:50 pm The only book I know of that covers the varieties is The Shield Five Cent Series by Fletcher 1994. I don't own this book so I am unable to comment on what it shows or doesn't show. It is a rather expensive book. Someone with a copy of Cherrypickers will be able to tell you if it contains all the varieties or just the popular ones. I haven't purchased this book and can't answer your question. I do see that Mr. Spindel's wensite does provide a trial version of the Shield nickel Viewer. Maybe it's worth downloading it and seeing if it provides you what your after. http://www.shieldnickels.net/snv/snv.html Sorry I'm not much help Ed. -MV Report this Post to the Staff

edweather Pillar of the Community United States 7375 Posts	Posted 02/28/2016 3:19 pm Meadowview, yeah, I did download the trial version, and it's very limited. Thanks for the other info though. ed Report this Post to the Staff
ItchyN Valued Member United States 121 Posts	Posted 04/11/2017 05:16 am @edweather: No Shield nickel reference book has all the varieties, as new varieties are discovered all the time. SNV software has most of the known varieties and new varieties are added all the time. Yes, the trial version is very limited. That's why it's called a trial version - to give you an idea of what the software does. Imagine the trial version populated with over 600 varieties to get a picture of the full version. CPG has about 20% of the known varieties, concentrating on the more dramatic ones. Ed Fletcher's book is good, but OOP. Report this Post to the Staff
