Beautiful.  Over $2 in silver in that lovely coin. Any way to get a detailed closeup of the date ... looking for the 1943/2 variety? I'm possibly seeing some markers at the base of the 3 that you should check out. David |

Nickelsearcher, Here are a few shots of the date, shooting them through a loupe so they are not the best. Thank You for pointing out the date I forgot all about that. Terry    |

OK ... in all 3 photos I'm seeing something that leads me to wonder if this might be a 1943/2 ...
The area to focus on is the '3' of the date ... in particular the lower edge of the '3' where it appears there might (maybe) be a portion of the under date '2' rising at 60 degrees.
Truly hard for me to tell ... perhaps the experts can chime in?

I was thinking that the "over-date" would be a little more clear and apparant ! Wow.....that's hard to tell for me...  |

I doubt it's a overdate. It really did look like it in the first photo since it appeared to have something else under or by the date but the enlargements didn't show that.

All the pics of the overdate I found the difference is more dramatic  Overdate left, normal right |

Eaglefoot, I agree this one is not so clear cut. I was leaning towards agreeing with just carl about it not being one. Because I finally had a chance to dig out my Cherry Pickers Guide and the angle on the small spike that goes up from the base of the 3 in the date does not look to be at same angle as the picture in the guide and in the picture of the 43/2 that Upstate posted. But in the Cherry Pickers Guide it says and shows that the 43/2 is also a Doubled Die. And I saw some doubling in the E of "WE" I will see if I can check it out a little closer this weekend and possibly get some shots of it. Kind of hard sometimes to get the right angle holding a loupe in front of a camera. I love a good puzzle especially from pocket change. |
