Is this a 1943/2 P war nickel?

Anyone?

It doesn't look like it to me.

The first photo looks like it could be, send it ANACS to find out.
With them you don't have to join to send coins in

 

there also a double eye for this year too !!!!

 

This is the classic die break.

If you read up on the 3/2 they specifically mention that there is a die break that resembles the overdate.

On the 3/2 the horizontal bar of the 2 will show in the 3, just above the bottom loop.

None shows here.

 

I agree, not the 3/2.

 

In the above real variety photo,
Look at the angle of the spike coming off of the bottom of the 3, it points/leads to the right side and intersects about a fourth of the way down,from the middle arm.

Now look at photo in post #1, it points to the tip of the middle arm of the '3', so it is not the variety ( besides having no lower bar).

At shows, I look at each raw one I spot, and all except once was a raw one labeled 3/2, really one. The rest were all similar to the first photo.

 

Keep looking, I have cherried 4 of them,
Two AU's, one cleaned & two VG's.

 

I agree with Frank, this is probably an example of the spur die break which has a different angle than the variety. I have never seen an example of the die break and the only photo I have seen is in Nagengast's book THE JEFFERSON NICKEL ANALYST.
