This
is the best (by far!) of the five 1883/2 shield nickel varieties. The
underlying 2 is far more visible on this variety than any of the
others. This variety is also quite rare in relation to the other 1883/2
varieties, and according to my records has only appeared at auction six
times in the last ten years.
Cross-references for the Cherrypicker's Guide FS-013 are Fletcher
1883 F-08, Breen 2524, and SNV 1883 S1-5001. The 1883/2 shield nickel
is also a Red Book variety, and fills a hole in Dansco shield nickel
books.
The coin is a properly graded AU-55 by NGC, and registry ready
since the variety is noted on the slab. Prices on the more common
FS-013.1 1883/2 have been going crazy recently, and the FS-013 should
fetch substantially more.
