Shield nickels were struck during the first part of 1883 before being replaced by the famous Liberty Head design. Numismedia lists the following approximate retail values as of 08/2010:

Normal date:

Very worn condition - $16

Moderately worn - $30

Slightly worn - $38

Almost no wear - $98

Uncirculated - $144 to $4,650 depending on quality

1883/2 overdate (recut die):

Very worn - $173

Moderately worn - $300

Slightly worn - $360

Almost no wear - $906

Uncirculated - $1,260 to $16,250

DISCLAIMER: The values quoted are the best available, but may vary due to market fluctuations. Also the wholesale (buying) price of a coin will be less than the selling (retail) price. A reputable coin dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation based on inspection of the coin.
