jesbroken New Member United States 14 Posts	Posted 01/09/2008 9:09 pm Hello all, I am new to this forum so forgive any mistakes I make. I have a 1936 Bust Half Dime that appears to have an over struck 3/3. As it is unlike the 3 over 3 inverted overstrike, I would like some advice as to its variety. I don't think it is just a Mechanical Doubling as due to its separation(the center of the overstruck 3 is north and east to the other 3. Unfortunately, there is damage to the coin so value is somewhat of a moot point. I would just like to know if this is an overstrike or what. Thanks in advance. Jim Report this Post to the Staff

jesbroken New Member United States 14 Posts	Posted 01/10/2008 3:12 pm No, AMAC44, CPG didn't list the 1836 at all. It did list the 1834 rpd. Thanks for mentioning it, though. Report this Post to the Staff
