1883/1882 Shield Nickel. FS-301. MS-62 (NGC).
A tinge of olive-gold iridescence blends with satiny mint luster on both sides of this sharp and lustrous BU example. There are several different varieties of the 1883/2 Shield Nickel, with FS-301 and FS-302 being perhaps the most visually dramatic and, thus, desirable among collectors. The present example is one of the few certified as Mint State for the FS-301 attribution, and would make an impressive addition to an advanced variety set of this 19th century nickel five-cent series.
PCGS# 38416. NGC ID: 22PD.
NGC Census (FS-301 attribution only): 4; 2 finer (MS-65 finest).

Estimate: $1500
