Edited to add... and I'm not a buyer of these unless they reside in a top three holder for the exact reason I mentioned above.
Edited again... Can you get a close up of the words on the obverse... a true 43/2 will have distorted and pivoted hub doubling on most if not all of the words per "The best of the jefferson nickels doubled die varieties."

Do you see the cool triangular mark on the 9 in the date? I do think it is the same as your eBay coin.

Looks like a contact mark. Nice find. I always thought overdates were neat coins.

<< <i>yes, that's the variety. there's one with a die chip that mimics this, but the suspect under-date is positioned so that it points in front of the center of the three, closer to the four. it's the Steve is describing. >>
listen to the man, he has it right

Back around 1977 Del Romines walked into the Collectors Clearinghouse office with two of these in low grade and asked if they were overdates. I said that they sure looked like one, but that I wanted to see a higher grade coin to be sure. I took some pix and ran them in Clearinghouse as possible overdates with a request to see a nicer coin, and danged if fellow Shelby County Coin Club member Bern Nagengast didn't se the article and cherry pick a Ch. BU one at a Dayton show that week. The rest is, as they say, history.

I read somewhere that this was reported way back in the '40's or early '50's but there
was confusion with one of the very similar die break varieties.
It's really remarkable this went so long to be confirmed. It looks like it took some heavy
weights to get the job done.
I've found a few of these and one was a nice XF.
