GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 03/16/2011 4:19 pm That CherryPickers Guide (CPG) has me looking at everything now. There is a 1943 S in the CPG but this seems a little different. The one in the guide seems to show doubling in the 9 at date. This has something on the "4" maybe a little on the other numbers. Also not sure what is going on .. with the reverse. Report this Post to the Staff

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 03/16/2011 4:26 pm Your coin appears to have been replated and rust developed underneath the replating. The problem with the 4 is actually Die Deterioration Doubling. The 1943S listed in the CPG has strong doubling on the 1 and 9 of the date. Report this Post to the Staff
liveandievarieties Pillar of the Community United States 601 Posts	Posted 03/16/2011 4:26 pm This is EXACTLY what the date has to look like on the '43-S DDO. The steel plating caused problems that strongly resemble doubling, it's very deceptive. This photo is of a prooflike early die state example. Even in later die states, you'll always see the strong doubling on the inside of the 9. Keep looking, it's a very cool variety, when you find it, you'll know without a doubt!

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/11/2013 6:36 pm The lines you see on the outside devices towards the rim is die wear. Keep in mind that the steel dies were pressing steel planchets. This caused a lot of die wear and wierd events happening on the coins. Report this Post to the Staff
