Msaintiger Valued Member United States 113 Posts	Posted 01/13/2024 04:39 am I've just recently learned this 1943/2 s penny existed after trying to figure out why my example looked weird to me. Upon closer inspection, I believe this to be that doubled die/over mint mark coin. You can still see the 2 that was changed to a 3. The coin I'm referring to is listed as Fs101 in the Cherry Pickers Guide. This has got to be that coin!!? Report this Post to the Staff

igwt79 Pillar of the Community United States 1464 Posts	Posted 01/13/2024 07:53 am I think I see what you're seeing mssintiger. I assume the OP is talking about what "appears" to be a faint "2" (approximately the same height as the "4") positioned between the "4" and the "3" of the date. @mssintiger, if I am correct in my assumption: 1- that faint "2" is Pareidolia 2- it's probably due to re-plating as John1 stated 3- that is not what the 1943/2 looks like, just look at the pictures on the link you provided and read the article 4- to get better help here, better quality pictures are adviseable as coinfrog stated I agree with all that the coin you posted is not 1943/2 FS101... and wouldn't be able to tell, even if it was, from the pics you provided. Keep searching and good luck! Report this Post to the Staff
