The twentieth century overdated coins - the 1918/17-D and 1943/2
nickels, the 1942/1 and 1942/1-D dimes, and the 1918/17-S quarters
resulted from a similar process.

QUIZ TIME! Which twentieth century overdate coin did James omit from
the above list?

It's one that I always include, and people ALWAYS miss, when I design
a "Red Book Quiz" for a local coin club program ...

I spoze you are talking about the 1914/3 nickel, which may or may not exist
with branch mintmarks.

Nope ... it's been quite a while since I developed one of these
quizzies, and the 1914/3 wasn't known at the time.

Hint 1: It's not in a series typically collected by date.

Hint 2: It's a trick question ... there are actually TWO such coins not
on your list ...

The question I posed ustabin "Name the seven twentieth century overdates
listed in the Redbook" -- with the 1914/3 nickel now listed, I'll have
to change that to "eight" if I ever design a new one.
