Here's a coin I picked up at a show today, unattributed.
The 6/5 is pretty obvious, despite the die being almost gone.
The obverse has some kind of die misalignment too.
It's one of the better overdates in the series.

Thanks Xshift! It's fun to find these overdates in dealer albums--just waiting to be found.

Thanks Nancy! I think this one qualifies as a very late die state for this overdate.
I have seen several examples, but without the cracks.

I noticed this coin because I'm already familiar with how the 6/5 overdate looks. Here's the 2 Ã-re 1906/5 I found.
