[QUOTE="BostonMike, post: 2241448, member: 7251"]Ok well I was all set to give up on this, but it's been in the back of mind. As a result, I spent hours searching online. After looking at photos of well worn nickels, not all show signs of doubling around the other numbers. In fact on the circulated examples I couldn't see it at all. Biggest trait was the hook and foot of the 2, giving the inside of the loop of the 3 a pizza pie slice sort of look. [ATTACH=full]442199[/ATTACH] So I see the angle and pizza slice looking geometry here. Compare to a standard 1943 [ATTACH=full]442200[/ATTACH] Fairly rounded inner loop of the 3. Now...my coin. I'm trying to not get my hopes up, but I see the pizza pie shape here and that particular angle as shown above. There is a little wear on the top of the foot, so there is some shadow play in the photo, but under a stereoscope I can see it...along with point of foot to the left and below. I'd photoshop the angle I am seeing but I am on a phone right now. [ATTACH=full]442201[/ATTACH] I know that even if it is the 1943/2, it's not worth that much...but I just want to know or it will bug me forever.[/QUOTE]
