Jaime Hernandez:
The 1876 Shield Nickel Bleeder variety shows vertical extensions of the shield lines, going through the shield horizontal lines on the reverse design. It is believed the engraver was trying to reinforce the vertical line designs and cut too far into the horizontal lines of the shield.
