Grade and value help with Shield Nickels, please.

[jesbroken]

If you could help me out-I am new to collecting Shield nickels and have several now, and I would appreciate your opinions as to grade and value to this 1866 w/rays and 1883 DDO. Thanks.

 

 

 

[1946hamm-migration]

1866 VG-8

1883 EF-40

Do you have the fletcher number to the 1883 as i cannot make it out

[skippy]

1866 VG

1883 AU50

 

Prices can be looked up in any pricing guide.

 

Your 1883 does not appear to be a DDO. Why do you think it is?

[James_OldeTowne]

I will guess G-6 and EF-40.

Fun looking coins Jim! (thumbs u

Skippy, If Lou doesn't mind me using his photo technique I'll try to show you.

All I see on the 1883 is strike doubling.

[rrantique]

I think it is strike doubling also Jim.

 

Here is a 13 type one buffalo with a double profile. Sorry for the quality of photo.

Thanks to all who replied-I appreciate your advice and value it highly. As I stated I am just learning about Shield Nickels and obviously have a long way to go. I'll have a couple more for you to evaluate if you would, shortly.
