TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 05/28/2012 12:37 pm I don't think this is a 1943/2 Jefferson overdate [eBayItem]370598852761[/eBayItem] 370598852761.I think this is the die gouge that is often mistaken for the real thing. Note that the "roof" of the 4 is thin. The genuine 1943/2 is actually a 1943 over 1942, not just a 3 over 2 which the name implies and there is stronger doubling on the last two digits making the 4 a bit wider. Compare to this one, I borrowed this uploaded image from a CCF post created by closelook in a post dated 03/24/2008 since it was a good image. I hope this is OK with closelook. Here's another less worn example. Report this Post to the Staff

ilikeikes Pillar of the Community United States 1205 Posts	Posted 05/29/2012 6:37 pm Thanks..better pics to refer from than my Cherry-Picker's guide for this overdate...I assume when you say the "Roof" of the 4, that is the slanted bar..I see the thick vs. thin right on.
