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. :headbang: :headbang:
 

holy crap, very nice :thumbsup:

They are at the top of the page. Is your browser not showing them? :dontknow:

i mean any close up pics of the front and back of the shield nickel.
 

with my finds tonight i'll post pics of the shield nickel
 

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
