The 1943/2-P is an overdate which is a coin struck from a die with a date that has one year punched over a different year. In this case the 3...
I cant answer that question without seeing the coin in hand. The only way I would ever resubmit an AU58 in hopes of a mint state grade is if...
Oh my, I wish there was a smilie that shook his head. BNB, your coin is very obviously a slider that could easily be mistaken for a mint state...
Add to that a search-able database that contains those photos for slab authentication purposes. Too bad DGS already has this. However, there has...
