India 1933/2 Half Rupee - Over date??

[maunishshah.com]

Hi All,

I recently acquired this 1933 half rupee, this was part of the Fore sale in 2012-2013 and sold as 1933/2 Overdate. 

Could you please help me validate what the last digit seems to me.

Is it:

1. Actual overdate 3/2

2. Die re-engraved

3. Die ghosting due to double strike etc.

Doesn't look like it is over a 2, looks more like a repunched 3

Thanks @Conder101 - Appreciate your response.

A repunched 3 without any double strike marks on the other numerals, is that a possibility?

It depends on how they do the dating of their dies.  If they use individual digit punches then yes.  If they have the first two or three digits hubbed into the die but punch the last one or two then yes.  If they use a four digit logotype punch to enter the dates then it is possible but usually there will be traces on the other digits.  I don't know what system they used, and examination of other coins of the same date but from different dies would be needed to determine the method.  The fact that the digits on this coin are not all on the same line and the spacing between them seems a little uneven would make me suspect individual punches, but I don't have enough knowledge of this series to be able to say for sure.
