Description

Superb Gem 1883/2 Shield Nickel, FS-013.3.

1883/2 5C MS67 NGC. FS-013.3. Remnants of an underdigit 2 are located between the final 8 and 3 in the date. The reverse has a retained die break from 2 to 3 o'clock. A well struck Superb Gem with vivacious cartwheel luster and light gold and lilac patina. A minor mark or two on the prominent 5, otherwise magnificently preserved. The Cherrypicker's Guide recognizes four die varieties of the 1883/2, what they have in common is the underdigit is partly between the 83 in the date rather than completely within the 3. In addition to these four rare varieties, some specialists claim Fletcher-7 is also an 1883/2. An extremely high grade for any Shield Nickel, much less the rare 1883/2 overdate.
