<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coinquest1961, post: 2735090, member: 1375&quot;]I agree with John Wexler&#039;s opinion as stated above except to say that the curve of the &quot;3&quot; can be seen immediately above the crossbar of the &quot;4&quot; on most early die state examples of Dies #1 and #2. That curve can be seen on the closeup of Die #1 above. Incomplete numerals aren&#039;t uncommon on an initial hubbing-see the 1916/16 nickel for an example. In addition, there was an attempt to efface the possible underdigit. Eight of the ten dies show distinctly different patterns of effacement lines. On the other two the lines are nearly absent. I was the third co-author of the &quot;Auth Guide.&quot; Other researchers of known talent might be Bill Fivaz and JT Stanton, among others, who believe this is a legitimate overdate. I doubt the issue will ever be conclusively settled one way or another, so as John says above, each collector should draw their own conclusions.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
