Although evidence of the 1933/2
overdate
half penny has existed for quite some time, it is only recently that the coin has been accepted in numismatic circles.

mint neither had enough
dies
on hand nor enough time to produce them. Consequently, like they did with the penny that year, they
overdated dies.
