cladking Pillar of the Community United States 2271 Posts	Posted 07/21/2014 5:39 pm This is a common die break mistaken for the overdate. Well it's not that common. I've seen a dozen of them over the years and about five of the overdate. Once you see the overdate it's easy to spot. Time don't fly, it bounds and leaps. Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 07/22/2014 3:50 pm The 3/2 shows much stronger at the bottom of the 3 than at the top. So if you are seeing something at the top you should definitely see the the base of the 2 within the bottom loop of the 3. Report this Post to the Staff

Coins101 Valued Member United States 118 Posts	Posted 07/23/2014 5:18 pm No this is not the 43/2 and this is not a doubled die. Its just a normal 1943 Nickel. A 43/2 doesn't just show on the 3 it shows on rest of date and Liberty. Report this Post to the Staff
