<p>[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 26750147, member: 10461"]That 3 also made me uncomfortable but I didn't have that image comparison that [USER=142588]@Mr. Numismatist[/USER] posted to cite. It was more of a gut suspicion to me but since I didn't have evidence or anything other than raw intuition to base it on, I kept quiet about that particular detail and only mentioned the mushy denticles. I did look at the 3 because I read that a lot of fake 1943s were made by altering 1941 coins and adding a 3 to them. At least I don't see any evidence of that in the photos of your coin. The 3 looks a bit weird but there doesn't seem to be any obvious evidence of tampering around it that I can see in the photo.</p><p><br /></p><p>Good luck!
