Hi,
I have an 1883 'no cents' Liberty Nickel with doubling on the 1 the 8 top left and lower inside curve of the 3. It most closely resembles WRPD-005 from Wexler's Doubleddie.com, but the die markers are not exactly matching the die markers in the photos for WRPD-005. The lack of a match between the die cracks on my coin and the die markers listed Wexler's leads me to believe I have a WRPD-002 or a new variety which would be a miracle considering the age of this coin. The doubling on the date on mine matches both attributions as only the 1 is doubled on WRPD-002 and there are no die markers listed for that one. The pictures below are in comparison to the ones listed for the WRPD-005 attribution. Can you please compare my photos below to the following link from doubleddie.com and let me know your thoughts? Thanks
