Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 4395 Posts	Posted 06/16/2019 1:03 pm Very nice find! I really like many of the Shield nickel varieties but they tend to be out of my price range. Report this Post to the Staff

ItchyN Valued Member United States 121 Posts	Posted 06/16/2019 5:45 pm I have 27 different minor DDOs catalogued for 1872. Many of them are hard to distinguish from one another. I can say that this coin is not FS-101 because the position of the date is wrong. Still a nice find. Report this Post to the Staff

QuarterHoarder72 Pillar of the Community United States 2156 Posts	Posted 06/16/2019 6:31 pm While surfing the web I found a listing sold on Amazon as Fletcher 110. With even more research I found that fletcher is the author of a series of books in Shield cents. Does anyone know a site that documents his book varieties?

ItchyN Valued Member United States 121 Posts	Posted 06/17/2019 02:36 am The Fletcher book is out of print and difficult to find. There isn't a website version. If you're looking for an available reference, consider the Shield nickel Viewer: http://www.shieldnickels.net/snv/snv.html Report this Post to the Staff

collectinsince65 Valued Member United States 320 Posts	Posted 06/17/2019 7:41 pm @QuarterHoarder72 I do have a copy of Fletcher's Shield nickle book. Mike Edited by collectinsince65 06/17/2019 8:00 pm Report this Post to the Staff
QuarterHoarder72 Pillar of the Community United States 2156 Posts	Posted 06/17/2019 9:34 pm Wow! Lucky ducky. I'm looking on the internet and it's expensive. $60 on Amazon. Crazy! Could you try to attribute this variety? Key marker is the big die break on the right side of the coin on the leaves. If you could attribute this coin would be great if you can't it's no problem.
