Imthealphaomega Pillar of the Community United States 3210 Posts	Posted 10/06/2017 8:13 pm The Philly example is easy to see. The Denver example is a bit harder but there will be obvious doubling of the 4 and a base of a 1 at the bottom of the 2 Report this Post to the Staff

Alpha2814 Pillar of the Community United States 2023 Posts	Posted 10/06/2017 8:15 pm The Philadelphia 41/42 overdate is obvious, as in Beefer518's image. The Denver version is more subtle -- mainly at the base of the 4 and a hook below the 2. Report this Post to the Staff

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 10/07/2017 09:59 am However, I wonder what that thing is on the bottom of your 4. If I were you I'd keep that on in the Album until you get the real thing. Report this Post to the Staff

jstav Valued Member United States 179 Posts	Posted 10/07/2017 5:16 pm Appreciate everyone's responses. @Coinfrog - Thanks! @just carl - Yes, I noticed the little blip below the 4, and also if you look at the bottom of the 2, there is a little step on the leading edge. Probably just anamolys, and made for interesting conversation :) Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 10/07/2017 5:59 pm Keep looking - you had a sharp eye on this one. Report this Post to the Staff

Mac1971 Valued Member United States 168 Posts	Posted 10/08/2017 5:41 pm Hey jstav, could you post a good pick of the mint mark please ? Report this Post to the Staff
Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 10/08/2017 6:03 pm Mac, what about the mintmark, is it a D/D? WRPM-004 perchance? The later stages of this overdat HAVE NOT been confirmed. Altho no positive proof, the shape of 2 and that small leg under 4 could be remnants of a polished die in VLDS. The die flow indicates a later stage. let's see closeups of all frontal details and the mintmark. Deserves a senond opinion. Report this Post to the Staff
