Better pics are needed to be sure... but It does have a chance.

 

Don't know Coinman, but that sure is a nice looking war quarter.

 

greed, possible, but need a closeup.

quarter?

 

I will soon, I don't have anyway to to take a photo right now. Stay tuned. Overdate of no it is still pretty nice, It looks to be Gem BU with 5 steps.

 

Does someone have a photo of the date of a 1942 for comparison?

Chris

 

I don't think it is. The raised area appears to head toward the middle point of the 3. On the doubled die, it heads south of the point. There are some very good images of this die here:

Also, there is a known die with a die gouge in the area. I'm sure if you google it you can find images of the gouged one.

 

Not my coin or photo but here is the date of a 1942

 

unless it looks like this I'm afraid not. Here is a close up of my MS65 1943/2 Jefferson. It has to have that fish hook barb if not its not . However check for the second image the 43 double eye variety.

 

Compared to a 42? Why? There's no comparison . It could be compared to a 43 but a 42 get you nothing.

 

A tool I always carry on my smart phone is free at Variety Vista . Com a complete guide to war nickels varieties . Just go to the site and down load the file. There are like 80+/- 1943 P , D,& S varieties alone.

 

How can anyone think that it's an underlying 2 without seeing what the 2 would look like? It's not rocket science.

Does not look like it.

 

If you knew the series you would! As looking at a 42 has no merit to what a 43/2 looks like.

 

You're right Paddy! I don't know the series, but I do know how you try to rag on me every chance you get. Shove it!

Chris

 

Don't escalate, either one. Thanks.

 

Some very nice details in that 1943/2!

 

Thanks buddy where have you been? You must be busy or we are just missing each other on line. Well the time difference is a major factor . LoL in fact I'm heading to bed now. Talk soon.

 

Closer pics would most likely confirm/deny it...

 

Need a clearer closer shot of the date on that coin. I can tell you that it is a 1943!
