Pretty sure this one is the real deal, would like to confirm. Graded VF30 by PCGS.

I can't confirm it as a 14/3. There is just too much going on around that area of the die, and none of it is convincing me that the 3 digit is under the 4.Bob Piazza

I couldn't ask for better photos of the area, and I thank you very much for supplying them. Unfortunately, I still can't make the call. The first photo looks like it could be convincing, but someone other than me needs to make that determination. I am sorry.Bob Piazza

I agree with Bob.
I can't find a VV listing for a variety like this. Any chance you can add a link for the listing?Comment

Not sure what that corresponds to as far as this PCGS variety goes, but note this from the description below the PCGS listing when looking at pictures - "The closeup illustrated above is from a different die and shows doubling on all digits of the date, plus a fairly strong top of the 3."

Thanks for that link.
I'm not a nickel guy but really appreciate seeing interesting varieties.
Am I reading that info correctly and there are nine different dies with the overdate?
EDIT: After following your link and reading through the "Theories" surrounding this one, I see there was mention of as many as 12!Last edited by Petespockets55; 08-24-2022, 07:49 PM.Comment

It is correct that there are many different examples of this anomaly. I have seen that noted in many different places, but not everyone agrees on how many dies there were.Bob Piazza
