It is a double die. Check variety vista's web site.
It is from a doubled master hub.

It appears to match FS-101 listed in CherryPickers (4th edition). Your image is better than the one in CPG but the E T R and U appear identical. It does say "Almost all 1943-dated halves exhibit some form of this doubling" and FS-101 will be removed from the next edition due to low interest factor.

Thanks for that info. From what I could get gather online, it seems to be a relatively common double die, but glad to have it attributed correctly since I couldn't find any decent pics.

If you have a Heritage account, search the archives for "1943-d 50c fs-101." There's one with the pie plate images that zooms in pretty well, but your image above is just as good. Seems like W and S show the most evidence of "true" doubling. Looking at all the 1943-D on there it seems there are a lot of them unattributed.

Yes, same process, but not nearly the spread seen in some of the 1972 Lincoln DDO varieties. |

Look under the 1943P for the DDO for all three mints Tim Hughes

I see a match. The fine details that show in your picture even match well. Obviously I did not mark them all.  And your pics are MUCH better than the book! Edited by Earle42

@Earle42, thanks for posting that comparison. That's exactly what I was looking for. I agree, it looks like a good match!
And @Onedollarbillnut, I now see that they included all the mints under 1943-P, which I guess makes sense since they might have used the same obverse master hub for all three mints.
