    I think that's the "alleged" 1943/2 overdate. That's what Breen calls it but no one else seems to think it's a true overdate.

    But I'm going from memory so stand by in case someone needs to correct me! image

    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

    Your memory is accurate, Kranky. Which is surprising considering your advanced age. image

    thanks much! I noticed it on an ANACS older slab. Any idea if PCGS/NGC/ANACS still use this designation?


    thanks!
