  Typical for Shield's, my 1883 has the same "mushiness" in the motto.

  I'm going to guess it's from a partially filled die. Howards will be able to tell you more if he logs in.
  
  I'd recommend checking out this site also:

  I believe that the Cherry Pickers Guide mentions that there is a common Die Chip found in the 2 on 1882s. No premium attached.
  I have been wrong twice before though. Last time was 1990.

  As others have already mentioned, this is a common 1882 with a filled 2. This particular example does not show as much fill as many others. This web page has more info:
  
  1882 filled 2
  
  If you think there may be more going on with the date than the web page discusses, I would need much better close-up photos of the date to comment.
