<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 753529, member: 15309&quot;]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.&nbsp; In this case the 3 punched over the 2.&nbsp; It is pretty easy to see when you know what to look for.&nbsp; Rather than show you a comparison of an overdate to a standard 1943-P, I will show you the overdate compared to a 1943-P DDO which has doubling on the date.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Jefferson%20Nickel%20Registry/JeffersonNickel1943-POverdatevsDDO.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The left side is the overdate and the right side is the DDO commonly known as the &quot;doubled eye&quot; variety (see photos below) due to the prominent doubling of Jefferson&#039;s eye.&nbsp; In the overdate you can clearly see the remnants of the 2.&nbsp; The base of the two is evident as an almost flat horizontal line that fills the bottom curvature of the 3.&nbsp; You can also see the distinct but incomplete rise of the 2 from the base towards the middle of the 3.&nbsp; Compare this to the obvious doubling of the DDO on the right.&nbsp; Every digit of the date is doubled and the doubling of the three follows the curvature of the number.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Jefferson%20Nickel%20Registry/DoubledEye.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The photo above shows two examples of the &quot;doubled eye&quot; on the 1943-P Jefferson Nickel DDO FS-106 (formerly FS-029).&nbsp; These coins are very difficult to locate in mint state condition and are even valuable in the circulated grades.&nbsp; Good luck roll searchers, happy hunting![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
