ItchyN Valued Member United States 121 Posts	Posted 10/05/2017 9:42 pm All 1866 appear to have the second 6 slightly larger than the first. This is not an RPD. Report this Post to the Staff
Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 10/05/2017 9:51 pm Thanks for responding Itchy, you seem to be the Shield nickel guy. Ever sinc that go-around with BCG months ago, been getting more into them, but don't seem to find a lot of , ah, free resources on line to help determine these varieties. My budget is tight, so cant afford those $100 books! Yea, thought that might be the case since the RPD seems to show the two different sizes in it. Just a normal date punch. If it weren't for no luck, wouldn't have any at all! Report this Post to the Staff
ItchyN Valued Member United States 121 Posts	Posted 10/06/2017 03:31 am @Crazyb0: For cases like this one, the Heritage auction archives are very useful. For example, you could browse a number of sold 1866 Shield nickels to see if their dates look similar to yours. PCGS coin facts also has some useful info. This page shows you a typical 1866: http://www.PCGScoinfacts.com/Coin/Detail/3790 Note that the sixes on all three examples pictured look like your coin. If you have Shield nickel questions, I'm always happy to help. Edited by ItchyN 10/06/2017 03:33 am Report this Post to the Staff
