This is the possible fourth die variety I found in the mixed world coin bag (See 1935 Argentina DDO post).

This might be a stretch, but there may be a partial 0 to the right of the 1 in the date. The die abrasion to the neck makes me think that it is an overdate that was partially abraded away. Then again, it could easily just be a die gouge. I can't find any high quality pics of 1950 or 1951 online so I could only make an overlay with a very blurry image, looks close but can't tell for sure.

I won't list this one until I know if an overdate is even possible on this date/denomination.

I would like to know what you think.

I'm aware of the Argentine overdate 1949/9, but I cant remember which

denomination it was.

Just did a bit of searching around, and there are multiple overdates known on the 1960 Peru Gold 100 Soles (1960/59). So an overdate is definitely possible on a 1951 Peruvian coin.

It might be possible. To me, it looks like Machine Doubling on the date.

I know there's MD on the date, I'm referring to the mark above and to the left of the 1. I'm thinking that could be the remnants of a 0.
