1943/2 Jefferson

[Ronald Ozimek]

I think this is a 1943/ over 2 Jefferson Nickel FS-101. The Cherrypickers guide has some qualifying statements in the comments section which I don't completly understand. Variety Vista also shows this coin with a DDO-003 reverse. I'm attaching the related photos and appreciate your comments.

Sorry Reverse listed as VV DDR-002

In my opinion, I believe it has a lot of promise.
The diagonal leg of the 2 is there along with a semi-weak horizontal base of the 2 as well.
Conecaonline.info might list some pick up points.

Although the CP guide is usually edited by a persson of great knowledge I believe it is best to compare different references to include Coneca, doubledddie and varietyvista to see the commonalities and potentially the different die stages. Hopefully one will match up, including some pick up points.

Thanks for encouraging me to dig a bit deeper. I found a few good matching pick up points on doubledie/ Brians Variety coins. The "GOD" and "WE T" look to be a great match

Evening Ron. First the thing that caught my eye- notice the die crack that connects the abnormality with the 3 of the date. There are 2 different dies that look like the 43-P over 42-P and by the listings, I think it's the second. Not FS-101. Reason. When I look at Double Dies on anything with a mintmark, I check the mintmark's position under EPU. Look at Dr. Wiles's placement of the mintmark photo. Notice it is different then yours? So if this was FS-101 then the REV die would have changed. To date I have not saw that a second REV die has been listed. I will post my photo's of the copy I have. Need to go find it.

Re writing the previous statement because of the photographs I was presented. The mintmark blown up on the photograph above looks more east but this is also after zooming in. Here is my LDS copy. It also has the die crack and shows approx position on both photo's above. Sorry I miss led you at first Ron. I think the coin is correct.
My oppologies

Thanks for the follow up note. The rolls I am searching yeilded 2 more examples. Part of me wants them both to be FS 101's but the inquisitive part of me wants 1 to be the less valuable variety so I can be able to tell the difference. I'll start a different thread if a comparison is possible.
