The date looks off to me on this one. I'd appreciate second opinions on the coin.

It looks like an authentic Overton-111 die marriage. I'd say VG-10, but not particularly attractive.

The examples on PCGS CoinFacts are of a different Overton variety. Here's a comparison of the OP's coin with an NGC-graded example of an O-111 of a similar grade. All the other die markers also match for that variety.

A heavy patina is capable of hiding a whole host of evils.
Despite this, I see this coin as genuine.
