Dearborn Moderator United States 95740 Posts	Posted 05/19/2023 9:30 pm Well it it a little beat up, but I can see a fish hook at the end of the 3, So I'll say maybe but the angle looks a little off. Here is a PCGS example of it: EDIT: to fix poor grammar.. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

MisterT Pillar of the Community United States 2003 Posts	Posted 05/19/2023 10:00 pm Gee, I can't tell conclusively. Many of these show a die crack from the center of the 3 to the left bottom of the 3 and those are not the 3 over 2 variety. Your coin seems to exhibit the the nub I would expect to see at the bottom of the 3 below the hook. Furthermore I cant tell if the straight base of the 2 is showing through the inside bottom loop of the 3 because there is something there, just not sure what. Could it be some kind of gunk that acetone could remove for a better assessment? I wouldn't dismiss the possibilities yet. Perhaps someone here knows of other die markers to look for. Fingers crossed for you! Report this Post to the Staff

Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5668 Posts	Posted 05/20/2023 01:06 am I don't believe it's the 1943/2. The angle of the short barb at the end of the 3 is not correct, and there is no evidence of the base of the 2. Report this Post to the Staff
nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15417 Posts	Posted 05/20/2023 05:00 am Quote: there is no evidence of the base of the 2. Agreed - even the pixilated photo would show the horizontal base of the two if it were there. Unless much sharper images show otherwise I'm saying this is not the 43/2.
