There are many varieties for the 1943 P Double Die Obverse, including a 1943/1942 overdate. 1943P 1945P These coins can be differentiated between other coins from 1942 that were made of copper-nickel by seeing where the mintmark is located. If there is a mintmark on the reverse above Monticello, it is a war nickel (this coin). If it is not, then it belongs to the transition year (KM#192) Genuine coins of certain dates struck in nickel by error are known to exist.
