 I see what you mean but I don't have the expertise to call it an overdate. will let buffalo fanatics decide. |

Maybe this is not such a good place to hang out. Six hours go by and hardly any one gives a crap about my coin. I spend two hours trying to get decent shots of hopefully an interesting coin and it turns out to be just a big yawn-er.

I don't believe there is an overdate known for this coin. I do however see some lamination running up from the F through the bottom of the 3 and to the top of the 0. It may be raising some edges on the coin to make something appear to be there that is not.

Waxman - yes, I see the lamination you refer to and it may explain some of the lower features, but not everything. I know there are no KNOWN overdates for this coin, but until recently there was no KNOWN overdate for the 1919 Mercury dime. Is this not one of the reasons an "odd-ball" such as myself spend hours peering through a glass at every coin I get my hands on? Hoping to discover a variety or oddity that nobody knew existed? I have been collecting and accumulating coins since 1959 and have dozens and dozens of US coins with unusual features such as this nickel. Due to my age, I have decided to start "showing", "telling" and "asking." Thanks for your input. |

The people who find the new varieties are the ones who question everything.  Fladude, I see what you're seeing but after looking at a bunch of 1929's I have to think it a strike/die wear artifact. I can't build a plausible 2 in my mind from the details. Doesn't mean I'm correct. |

Geese man calm down! Lol. Don't get angry. Patients is a virtue. Looks like a small die chip. Possibly a small part of a lamination. I highly doubt it is an over date just because of the position of the triangle. A 2 would look more rounded and more to the left. Just my 5 cents. ;)

This is almost certainly a die chip. I did at one time many years ago have a coin just like this and also thought it might be an overdate. It was never confirmed as such by CONECA. It's been a long time and I don't remember but is it also one of the many Class IV doubled dies known for this date?

Where is the best place for him to send it for attribution, if any? It won't be an instant answer but it will be bona fide. I know you can pay a little extra to get faster attention to your attribution request.

I don't think it needs to be attributed.

He could send it into one of CONECA attribution guys but I think it would be a waste of time and money.. Looks like a small die chip.. Do an overlay of a 1929 and there is nothing there even close. Also, notice there is no indication of a 9 under the 0. Unless of course people are thinking its a 1930/20?
