PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTION AND RETURN POLICY DETAILS BELOW COMPLETELY BEFORE MAKING A PURCHASE - a purchase from this listing assumes that you have read all of the description and acknowledge these terms.

1883 Shield Nickel, 1883/2 Overdate, FS-303 (FS-013.2).  certified by NGC with the notation of Improperly Cleaned.  Given the abuse this series suffered, the surfaces do not look all that bad - outside this holder, it would undoubtedly be offered without such comment.  Certainly not "perfect", but a reasonable value.  Given that value on a coin like this is relative, offered as an auction.  I believe that my BIN price is reasonable given the appearance of the coin itself, as it is not only still a very nice looking coin, but would have value to someone studying the series.  There is a VERY low Reserve on the lot, simply to allow more people to consider the Buy It Now price - after the Reserve is off, you get to decide the price. PLEASE NOTE: I lost the image of the Rev. side of the holder in the electronic ether somewhere - I will re-image and have it posted shortly, with my apologies.

Please Note: We require payment within four days of purchase, unless you contact us for other arrangements in advance of purchase. Items not paid for within 4 days will have an automatic unpaid item case opened - please do not make a purchase unless you intend to honor your commitment.  If you have any questions, please email. You can see more accurately graded U.S. collector coins on my website, where I also offer a 5% discount for payment by check on items over $100.  Just search for it using our name (eBay prevents me from listing the URL), or contact us for the info.  I also accept alternative methods of payment here on ebay. Please note our hours below and if needed contact us at least 24 hours before close of listing.  Bid or Bid with confidence: we have a heritage to 1937, and loads of good eBay Feedback, where I have been selling since 1997.  Good Luck & Good Hunting!
