Since the 1878 shield nickel does not have a full date I would estimate about $400.00.

That said fakes were made back in the day using 1870 and 1873 nickels.
It needs to be verified in hand.

I'm not good at grading...but I think with coins like that...just a readable date is close to g-4
I'd have a coin dealer look at it

The Shield looks to be Fair-2 down to possibly even Poor-1 to me; based on that photo, assuming ABGlex is correct with the date. I'm looking forward to more pics as I can't make a date out from the posted pic. Any confirmed 1878 Shield is an awesome find.

 

[kvilleification]

friggin' awesome. Hopefully your luck continues. Heres to more IHC and Shield N's

HH!

 

[SilverFace]

More great finds for you and the gf - congrats!

Hope the '78 shield nic checks out ok.

Do you have any news on the dot cent? This seems like a sequel.

 

[AGBlex]

i dont even mean for things like this to happen haha . some people have looked at it and think it was a place where someone had put a dot on it. 60 or so years ago to make it look like a dot cent... depressing
