Looked at this and my first impression was VT needs to look at this.
Amazing how things happen.
You to Amida!

Wait.
I'm going to say... Vermont! Look to the right of the last digit of the date and tell me what you see. I'm going to bed!

OK:) I must be blind as a bat with out radar. Not sure what you guys are seeing but here are some axial lighted pics I took before the acetone bath. Hope these pics help confirm an overstrike. That would be cool!  Edit below: New Pic:) Hopefully more helpful. I will also try to re-shoot the coin.  Edited by TJsCoins

Easier to see on the first pics. What I think you can best see (and what I assume Vinnie was seeing) is the row of mail segments along the shoulder of the bust, just beneath NOVA. They weren't matching any Connecticut right busts for me, but a number of Vermont busts have a row of shorter and squarer segments. Now I'm worried I was just looking at PMD. Edited by philadelphian

The funny thing about NJ's is that I have been buying them like crazy lately. I originally wanted to buy my first about 5 years ago. I found 1 slabbed at a local flea market for like $450 so I passed. Since then I found a few here and there in the neighborhood of $150-200. Eventually I bought my first via CL and the seller turned out to be a huge C4 guy who introduced me to a local coin club and the rest is history. Now that I know where to look, I have been "stealing" these at half their value. I even grabbed an R5 for $100! They are easy to attribute and there is no shortage of sellers or buyers.
