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.

1883/2 Shield Nickel overdate, FS-303 (old FS-013.2).  Certified by NGC as "AU Details", noted as improperly cleaned - in my opinion the details are equivalent to an AU-53 to 55 coin.  If this was in fact cleaned it is not terribly obvious and the color looks decent overall; I can say that I have seen FAR worse in "normal" holders.  Given the general abuse these coins suffered from the general public who hoarded Shield Nickels in 1884 and beyond after the series was replaced, the minor scuffs and hairlines may simply be from mishandling.  Greysheet Bid at close to $1,300, these sell consistently at auction for $1200-$1500; "Trends" value at $1500. Shipping by Registered Mail.

Due to recent unfortunate changes to tax/reporting regulations in Minnesota, we do not sell to residents of that State - any purchases by residents of Minnesota will be canceled and the payment refunded, with our regrets.

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!
