Does anyone see a 3 here?
the top loop looks more like a 3 than a 2 to me. Of course
i see what I want to see but compared to the 1942 loop, it doesn't match up as well as the 3. I see how the bottom
looks like a 2 but the lower of 4? is so damaged it's hard to see but if it was a 2 it doesn't line up with the 4 like it should.

i know it's over 99% unlikely but it really caught my eye.

@bish, I agree with this level of wear, it is hard to know for sure. To my eyes, though, the last number looks like a 2. I say that mostly for the bottom of the digit rather than the top. Maybe it took a hit in circulation that rounded out the top part prior to being corroded so badly.

Not sure of what number it is but
I don't see any sign of the tail of a 3.

Any chance we could see full, large and sharp pics of the obverse and reverse? Thanks.
