1943 P 3 over 2 1 1

Is this the 3 over 2 coin from what you can tell from the photos? 

[RWB]

Here are detail photos of a certified overdate, and your coin. What do you think? Can you post a much sharper photo?

Nice photos.

The ridge does not seem to be at the proper angle or ending location of the "2" remains example.  The attached image is consistant with other images of the "2" remains.

A second area to look at is the bottom of the 3, see how a genuine 3/2 has a bit of extra metal.  
that is lacking in your coin.

It may be close, but it looks off to me like someone tried to make their own 43/2

    There are a number of 1943 wartime five cent pieces that have a die crack extending from the bottom of the "3". They are often confused with the "3 over 2". I think that the posted coin is one of them.

thanks

It's a photo that I took of a coin for sale. Thought it might be the 43/2 coin

Is this the d over d? Trying to get the variant coins.

   It doesn't look like it from what I can see. See the photo on p. 137 of your 2018 Redbook. Here's the photo from NGC VarietyPlus:

Right off hand. I would say no.
