    1943 S War Nickel

    Hello everyone. I have here a 1943 S mint mark War Nickel. As you can see it's definitely circulated. I have had it for a few years now when I look at it I'm always looking at the 4 and 3 in the date. The 4 looks somewhat doubled to me and the 3 at the end of it it goes into kind of hook or line that shoots upwards if that makes sense. I have Google it and I heard about the 1943/2 P Nickel overdate but mine is an S mint mark. If there is a overdate error at the Philadelphia mint could there be the same error at the San Francisco mint at well? I have attached some pictures some of the whole coin front and back but mostly close ups of the 4 and 3. Forgive me if the picture didn't come out very clear. I tried the best I could. I would love to know what you all think of it. Thank you for your time

    In my opinion, The "S" mint does not have a 43 over 2 variety.
    The 43/2 or a doubled die would be classified as a variety vice error.
    The 3 might have a die chip or crack on the number.


    A few websites that may help are:
    ( I highly recommend reading the description of the listing to understand where the variety is being seen )

    https://conecaonline.info - CONECA master listings

    http://varietyvista.com - easy to navigate but some photos can be a challenge to see.

    https://doubleddie.com

    https://www2.briansvarietycoins.com/ - all sorts of listings. You can check the for sale stuff and the doubled dies and repunched mint mark listings for info.
