I was at a coin fair today, and I found these two coins side-by-side in a dealer's binder, unattributed.

Good job, they are defiantly over-dates.
I picked my one up for $9.00 a while ago, but the coin book says they start at $40.00 each. So pick an average price in the middle...
What did you pay for them; I bet you got a good price. :)

Thanks! It's nice when coins jump out at you.
I paid $2 for one and $10 for the other in a slightly better grade.
Since I already have one a friend gave me, I may sell these on the forum.

This link probably best describes it.

You are looking at the last number "3" in the date for the underlying 2.
As the die was first a 1932 then changed to a 1933.
You will see a little hook, or extra bit on the 3.
As shown in DVCollector pictures with arrows.
