zxcccxz Pillar of the Community Canada 5417 Posts	Posted 06/29/2014 11:55 pm Never heard of it before, pretty interesting. Sadly, it's too low of a grade for my collection. I believe it's being sold by a CCF member. CCCS has been certifying a lot of previously unknown Overdate varieties lately, but I do see the tip of the seven in the top right corner of the 8.

Pacificoin Pillar of the Community Canada 5394 Posts	Posted 06/30/2014 08:03 am Most likely just used an old reverse die from 1873 and carefully punched an 8 over 7. See page 28 of the 2014 Charlton Standard Catalogue CANADIAN COINS Volume 1. Die steel and die preparation was too costly to just discard a good unused die from a previous year (s).
