oldmike Pillar of the Community Canada 891 Posts	Posted 01/04/2017 1:42 pm Just going through some silver my wife got from her dad, not a collector, more of a hoarder. The date looks as if the die was re worked especially the 4. Don't know much about these * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Edited by oldmike 01/05/2017 12:37 pm Report this Post to the Staff

cwb Pillar of the Community United States 3463 Posts	Posted 01/04/2017 3:42 pm That looks like 1943 WHO-003, 3-O-III as found on Variety Vista. Go there and compare the rest of your coin with the other images. Here is a link to them: http://www.varietyvista.com/10%20Wa...43WHO003.htm Nice find if it turns out to match! Good eye!

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 01/04/2017 3:51 pm There has been very little die re-engraving done for 20th century issues, most of the known examples are proof coins with few working dies. It cannot be repunched since the date was part of the hub design. Report this Post to the Staff

oldmike Pillar of the Community Canada 891 Posts	Posted 01/05/2017 12:55 am Well I went to varietyvista ,I compared as close as I could but there doesn't seem to be hardly any doubling as they show, so I am back to "I haven't got a clue" I will try and take a better photo of the date Report this Post to the Staff

cwb Pillar of the Community United States 3463 Posts	Posted 01/06/2017 6:46 pm Thank you for the additional images, they are great! It's not the 003, that's for sure. http://www.varietyvista.com/10%20Wa...s%201943.htm You can do some comparing to the other known doubled dies for that year with the link above.
