You'll need a strong magnifying glass. There should be a faint "2" visible under the "3". Specifically, you should be able to see the 2's downstroke connected to the inner curve of the lower half of the 3. It can be very difficult to identify, especially if the coin is worn. When in doubt consult an expert coin dealer or appraiser.

The error happened when a leftover 1942 die was re-cut for use the next year. There was a similar overdate error on some 1942 Mercury dimes when a 1941 die was reused, possibly due to wartime metal shortages.
