DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 10/08/2010 4:19 pm As I specialize in world overdates, I'm always looking for photo reference of coins I can search for at shows. Here are some interesting examples, clockwise from upper left. If you collect overdates, Peru is an easy country to collect, even for modern issues. UK 1/2d 1856/96 (with the underlying 9 inverted) Norway 10 Ã˜re, 1918/7 Peru 50 Sols (gold) 1962/52 Guatemala 1/4 Real 1842/29 France, Napoleon era 13/12 year Edited by DVCollector 10/08/2010 4:25 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Not quite an overdate, is the engraver's error 1811 40F "A sur coq" variety - one my favourite coins. Peter in Oz Report this Post to the Staff
DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 10/09/2010 11:32 am Hi Peter, the 13/12 is a 1 Franc coin. I haven't seen the "A sur coq" 40F coin--I'll check that out. Coppercoins pointed out the 1/2d is more likely shows a repunched 5--and not an inverted 9. Serves me right for taking the Heritage writeup at face value--and not using my brain.

Peter THOMAS Pillar of the Community Australia 2830 Posts	Posted 10/10/2010 04:58 am "A sur coq" - probably came to pass on a Monday morning. The engraver started on the privy mark, a rooster, or coq, but he put it on the wrong side. After realizing his error, he puts the rooster where it should be, and attempts to conceal the first rooster by engraving the mintmark, "A", for Paris, over the top. Which has the effect, of course, the the "A" has a head and a tail. Gadoury calls this variety "A regrave sur le coq" This link takes you to an article, en Francais, with several good pics, scroll down to page 9 - http://www.numishop.eu/bn/bn041.pdf Peter in Oz Report this Post to the Staff
