Has a nice, full luster despite it's size, and even has cute little die-breaks on the obverse Are there any market for these guys? Report this Post to the Staff

Numis-Northerner Pillar of the Community Canada 857 Posts	Posted 07/13/2020 12:53 pm Very nice, could you post a close up of the '9' in the date, it looks like it is repunched. Could be an overdate. Report this Post to the Staff
Stephen-P Valued Member Japan 294 Posts	Posted 07/14/2020 08:14 am Here's some close-ups. Is this coin known for having an overdate? Thanks for looking Report this Post to the Staff
Numis-Northerner Pillar of the Community Canada 857 Posts	Posted 07/14/2020 12:30 pm I don't know if there is any specific confirmations of an over date, but if you look at the top left corner of the '9' it looks at if there is a bit of a trace of another number. It looks like it could be a '7', perhaps one of the workers started repunching the dies and accidentally made the date to condensed, or maybe it wasn't centered properly and they had to either polish the date and start over, or repunched over their mistake and then polish out the remaining details of their mess up but accidentally left a bit behind. This is just a guess that seems like likely to me, given that there is a '7' in the date. Report this Post to the Staff
