Actually looks like it with the amount of doubling there is. Only the 2nd over-date I've seen so dont quote me.

Yes, most definitely the 1933/32!  The markers for the 3/2 are on your coin; the 3/3 is harder to see. Very nice find! Your coin appears to be VF...do others agree? Here is a closeup of some of the markers:  |

Isn't the 1933/32 worth a little more than $6-7? My 2010 Maccas lists it at VG $40 F $90 VF $160 |

They can be worth a lot, but it should have a really clear overhang of the 2. I have 2 good examples of this and I only paid $11 for one and $9 for the other but that was a few months ago. I haven't been watching them lately so I might be out of touch with current prices. Heres one to watch on ebay ending soon, it's a little nicer on the dated side but not as detailed as yours on the king side. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1933-32-OVE...em53e9b34a49 |

Imo, the OP's coin has some corrosion, but also a rather nice 3/2...I can even see some of the diagonal stroke of the underlying 2.
On a more technical note...how many different 1933/32 dies are there? If there is only 1, the overdate positions will be the same on all 33/32 coins.

Right, thanks--I've read that too. Despite the "common" aspect, they seem to enjoy good demand. I've sold a few myself to other American collectors. What has really got me curious, is whether multiple dies were involved, which might explain that 11%. Since 11% of 5.8M = 618,000 coins--which sounds like a high mintage for a single reverse die.  |

Ahhh - information overload!  Australian Coin directed me your link DVCollector to show me what to look for on the 32/33 coin. Your image is very clear that's why I wasn't to sure about mine. How exciting. I'll put it aside for the next trip to the coin expert. Thank you all for the info. This is simply the best site to be on . I'll keep you posted with anymore finds! |

Nice, where did you get the coin from (how much did you pay for it)?

Hi dcoin. I was given some tins of penny's and half penny's - seriously tins - like old dog food cans or something - from my father. I had a thread that listed all the dates I found Here is it : https://goccf.com/t/101065#101065. Australian Coin told me to look at the 33's and I found that 3 of them showed the markers for overdates. I put a photo of this one up and everyone seems to think it is one so happy times :-). So I found it in a tin and paid nothing for it. That's gotta make it a special find yes? They were two BIG tins so I imagine it will take a bit of time for me to go through them as I don't really know what to look for - apart from there were no 1925 or 1930 penny's. On that other link everyone was really helpful and gave a list of what to look for. Edited by Concerned

"there were no 1925 or 1930 penny's"
But that means that there must have been at least one 1946 penny. That is a good one to get.

There were supposidly 6 different dies used for the overdates (they normally made dies in batches of 6. They vary a bit from very obvious overdates to less obvious (that is how I have picked up a few from stock books that others thought they had picked clean).
Even with a bit of green that is a nice coin. Easy $100 minimum.
