About this product
Product Information
<h2>Ron Guth</h2><p>Production of Shield Nickels in 1882 was huge -- to the tune of almost 11.5 million pieces. This was the largest production in a dozen years, and only four dates (1866, 1867, 1868, and 1869) have higher mintages. As might be expected, this is a very common date, and one that is easy to locate in all conditions except MS67. </p><p>Luster ranges from satiny to prooflike. Die cracking is seen frequently, but not to the severe degree on some of the preceding dates. Overall, this is a good choice for type collectors who seek an affordable, high-grade example of a Shield Nickel.</p>Product Identifiers
