What is the value of an 1882 shield nickel?

An 1882 Shield Nickel could be worth anywhere from $1.50 to $150, depending on its condition and rarity. The most valuable of these coins are the ones that are in Uncirculated condition, meaning they have never been spent and are in perfect condition. These coins can sell for up to $150 or even more. However, most 1882 Shield Nickels are in the lower end of the price range as circulated in good condition, often selling for around $1.50 to $5.
