coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/01/2014 8:24 pm Here is another classic example of a VLDS die coin: So the example above is just showing extreme die wear on the non 43/2 nickel. Report this Post to the Staff

PPorro Valued Member United States 123 Posts	Posted 10/02/2014 01:11 am Thanks guys for putting up with me and being new at this die break vs overdate. Heck, it took me until I read here to understand what "full steps" and 5 steps meant, even though I'd heard the term. The photo examples and the explanation was perfect! OK so is this is, or is this ain't... a 3 over 2? (sorry for borrowing from song lyrics) The way I can easily spot the standard issue 1943 is the ball on the end of the 3, which is missing from the die break and the re-punched overdate.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/02/2014 1:51 pm In different die states the ball there or the one behind the upper loop is all up to the die state of the die that created your coin. The two angles I posted in an image are present on your coin, so it is that die variety. Nice find. Re-posting this image to show what I mean. When eyes see them side by side, then they are ready to start searching for them. Report this Post to the Staff
PPorro Valued Member United States 123 Posts	Posted 10/02/2014 8:05 pm Now I can move on to 1942 D/D, 1949 D/S, 1954 D/S and S/D and finally a 1955 D/S. All about the hunt, not the values. Report this Post to the Staff
