DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 09/30/2009 7:03 pm I see something protruding from the 9 digit--is that what you see, or perhaps something else? I'm unfamiliar with this particular coin, but I have several 9/8 overdates that show a wider 8 protruding from the 9, such as on this coin from Denmark: Report this Post to the Staff
WpgLwr Pillar of the Community Canada 1082 Posts	Posted 09/30/2009 7:57 pm I think the fact that the 9 is so out of whack shows that it was punched separately. It could very well be over an 8. Report this Post to the Staff
DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 09/30/2009 10:59 pm The spacing/angle on the last digit is off...so it bears a closer look. Edited by DVCollector 09/30/2009 11:00 pm Report this Post to the Staff
swamperbob Pillar of the Community United States 5362 Posts	Posted 10/01/2009 12:37 am Not my series or country - but the dies look hubbed. The date appears to have been added after the hubbing was complete - each digit of the date is uneven both in height and spacing. I also think is see a bit of doubling on the base of the 4 at the right side. I also think that is what is protruding under the 9 - simply a trace of a preliminary set of the 9 punch by the die sinker. Double punching of a single digit or a series is very common in the early hubbed dies. The hubs were normally undated so that they could be used for dies in different years. If this were a 9/8 - I would expect to see more of the under digit - the 8 - within the loop or by the tail of the 9. Certainly since the 9/8 is so scarce and high priced I would expect it to be a bit clearer. Report this Post to the Staff
bobo13 Valued Member Bulgaria 474 Posts	Posted 10/01/2009 04:01 am Thanks for the help, 9 is really quite close to the 4 and the angle of impact is rotated. Moreover, the circle of 9 seems partially filled and the walls of figure 9 are thicker in some places. But it is very likely indeed that simple coin to 1849. 1849/8 is very rare in similar grade...
