I don't think there is a '3', but were the photos taken from space?

 

no in my room

 

What part is supposed to look like a "3"?

 

i see 1942, no three in there.

 

I clearly looks like a 9 to me.

 

I see bigfoot walking in the woods.

 

These are not the droids you're looking for.

 

But...

 

My goodness you people are sarcastic...love it. BTW, I really don't see any trace of a 3 in any of the four digits shown.

 

Richy, it might help if you tell us where YOU see the "3".

 

there appears to be something underneath the 2 but i havent had a drink yet so my eyes may be seeing things

 

Seriously! How could the date on this coin possibly be 1942 over 1943?

 

How it could happen is that late in the year when they are still making 1942 dies they start building a stockpile of 1943 dies as well. So for awhile they are making both dies at the same time. So a die gets hubbed as a 43, goes back for annealing and when it comes back it gets hubbed with a 42 hub. Result is 42/43. That hasn't happened here but that is how such a thing could happen. Think about the 42/1 dime. Both dates are equally strong, so how do you know it is a 42/1 and not a 41/2? Usually the first hubbing is the weaker one, but in this case there really isn't a "weaker" hubbing. So it could be either way. Convention is just that the later date is over the earlier one.
