Ask is what sellers were asking on active eBay listings of certified coins, fixed-price only — not what a coin sold for, and not our valuation. With enough listings at a grade, it's the middle 50% of their asking prices; with only a few, each asking price is shown. A single listing is shown only when its seller has an established eBay account with strong feedback. Sample is the number of listings behind each figure. Grades shown without a designation are plain examples.

History
CENTS type. This date exists in more than one distinct type, each with its own mintage, so it is carried as a separate coin rather than folded into a single card. The source lists this type ("1883 CENTS 5C MS") but publishes no mintage for it, so the figure stays VERIFY.
The Junto Brief
Notes on coins, values, and the hunt — delivered on occasion. No noise.
