<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 1584660, member: 15309&quot;]What you have is a 1943-P with a spur like die break extending from the end of the 3.&nbsp; This variety is commonly confused for the overdate but upon closer inspection, you will notice that the angle is incorrect as the real overdate is at a 45 degree angle.&nbsp; Furthermore, with the level of wear on your coin, you should certainly be able to see evidence of the flat base of the two within the bottom loop of the 3.&nbsp; Your coin does not show this.&nbsp; Here is a photo of some actual overdates for comparison.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]219850.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]219851.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]219853.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>BTW, your photos are outstanding and it is still a nice find.&nbsp; I have never seen one of the spur like varieties.&nbsp; Your coin is well documented and commonly mistaken for the overdate according to Bernard Nagengast (THE JEFFERSON NICKEL ANALYST) who states that your variety &quot;was first reported in <i>Spadone&#039;s Variety and Oddity Guide in 1964.</i>&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Paul[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
