Sovereign Debt Valued Member Australia 51 Posts	Posted 04/17/2012 04:10 am Apart from the dent that the centre stroke of the 3 has received, this looks like a normal 2nd 3 such as those I've given examples of above. The proposed 1933/32 overdate coins have 2nd 3's with stuff poking out from the squared-off section at the first part of where you would usually hand write a 3. I've outlined the bit I'm talking about in yellow in the images below. Report this Post to the Staff

Thanks for taking the time to reply,sorry about the scan its the best I can do but looking closely at the centre stroke it appears not to be formed properly,i don't think its a dent but you may be right.I'm wasting a lot of time on this ,I've got over 30 1933 halves but I notice on ebay tonight one for $16.95,BiN,so not exactly a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow but never-the-less interesting.

Sovereign Debt Valued Member Australia 51 Posts	Posted 04/17/2012 09:46 am Yes the two 3's in the date are different for all 1933 halfpennies but a small number of 2nd 3's look like they've been multiply stamped & it's those few that have given rise to the overdate conjecture. Unfortunately, nobody has yet been able to determine if the mess at the top of those few 2nd 3's is produced by an overdated die or by some other cause. Report this Post to the Staff
