Numismat Pillar of the Community United States 1666 Posts	Posted 03/14/2009 5:25 pm The Krause book does list an 1860/50 variety, which this appears to be. I am not 100% sure, however, because the evidence is only barely visible with a 10x loupe. Opinions? Edited by Numismat 03/14/2009 5:25 pm Report this Post to the Staff

KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 03/14/2009 7:02 pm I would say the "flag" on the upper left of the 6 is a telltale marker I see on many 6/5 overdates. Not to mention, I see other evidence of a 5--arrows. I also see something in the 0. We would be more certain with an overlay--got an example of the 5 used? compare to this overlay I did for the Sweden 1906/5 2 Ore: Report this Post to the Staff

KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 03/14/2009 7:32 pm Just eyeballing that pic, I think there's a pretty good chance! Nice how the lower ball of the 5 appears to show inside the 6. Report this Post to the Staff
Numismat Pillar of the Community United States 1666 Posts	Posted 03/14/2009 9:39 pm Yep! I feel confident enough to mark up the 2x2 now =) Thanks for jumping in on this one Kurt. Report this Post to the Staff
KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 03/14/2009 11:04 pm I took it one step further--I used that coin you linked to and made an overlay. I think there's a lot to suggest the 6/5--quite a bit lines up to my eyes. Report this Post to the Staff
