Obverse Description: A shield flanked on the left and right by leaves topped with a cross with arrows positioned behind at the bottom so the arrow heads and shanks protrude at the sides. The motto IN GOD WE TRUST appears at the top periphery with the date positioned at the bottom center.
Reverse Description: A large numeral 5 surrounded by 13 stars centered in the design with UNITED STATES OF AMERICA * CENTS around the periphery.
General Notes: Edited and reused 1882 dies led to the lone popular overdate variety in the Shield Nickel Series. It is scarce in all grades, especially in Mint State. Gems are certainly rare for the 1883/2 Shield Nickel. There are at least five dies with the overdate but the most scarce and desirable one by far is the FS-301.
