sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 05/13/2019 08:41 am Copper nickel was a relatively new coinage alloy when this coin was struck. Copper nickel harder than bronze or .900 silver. Die hardening techniques have be considerably improved since then. Report this Post to the Staff

westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 05/13/2019 4:41 pm Yes people collect Shield nickels by die variety. Great book by Fletcher is one good guide, out of print but worth buying if you are into this series, there are so many varieties in the whole shield series ( Two Cent Pieces also) from double dies, triple dies, re-punched dates, Cuds, cracks, etc. A fun series if you like the hunt more than just filling date holes. Nice die crack forming a Retained Cud. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!
