| This is what CaC says about their prices in the lists ... "Values in the section are based on the market, trends, auctions and recognized books, publications and catalogs". The BEST way to see what the current selling prices are on Ebay, going to "advanced" and then looking at the actual sold prices for any item. I always thought CaC prices high or "wished for" |

| Well, they must have struck coins with the Rev as an erased "194" die and then punched in the last digit, weather a 3 or 1 2. There are all kinds of varieties dealing with the 3 and the hoof for the '43 for spacing and position. Then they used the same Obv cracked dies to marry with the hand-punched Rev's for the date. It was wartime and the Mint didn't get the top-notch steel for dies. The good stuff was used for tanks and trucks and weapons. |

| No, it's still mechanical/machine doubling. Read the Wexler link that I pasted above and look at the examples further down in the article. It's still a neat coin, but just an error caused by the locks on the die coming loose and the planchet moves a little (microseconds) as the die rises up and off the planchet. Once the die is locked back in place the doubling stops. |
