    Hi,
    Here is what I think is a 1943/2 Jefferson Nickel. The 3 clearly has a barb on the inner bottom loop, but the bottom of the 3 doesn't seem to be flat as if it is over a 2, which gives me pause. Could there be a barb on the 3 if the bottom of the 3 isn't flat(ish)? The third photo is a close up of the date.
    Thanks!

    It doesn’t appear to be damaged, I think most collectors would say yes. The pictures available at NGC and Wexler show a favorable barb on the “3” almost identical to the OP.

    Looks to be a G4. NGC lists at $30.00…Spark
