The following is a quote from the back cover of "The Shield Five Cent
Series" by Edward L. Fletcher, Jr. : "The shield five
cent series is one of the few remaining areas of unexplored territory in U. S.
numismatics. Although some varieties have been publicized, they are
literally the tip of an enormous variety iceberg. These varieties range
from doubled dies to repunched dates, to die and hub varieties" .....
"One of the most frequently underrated coins in U. S. numismatics, the
shield five cent series is a cherrypickers dream come true".
