sigistenz Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 As the "3"s looked like above, I think my new acquisition (below) is probably a 1785/3 overdate, unpublished in the Brekke/Bakken book. Sigi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobh Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 Looks like 5/3 to me, too. Also, there seems to be an interesting die clash on the reverse -- between the eagle and the scroll there is what looks like part of the wreath, and there are traces of the monogram close to the head of the eagle on the left. However, the wreath trace looks raised and the monogram trace seems to be incuse. What do you think, shouldn't they both be either raised or incuse if this is indeed a die clash?

STEVE MOULDING Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 Looks good to me! Congratulations Sigi. The overdates interface is coming together at rnumis. When it's ready, I hope you'll add this as the first example of a 1785/3! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Bob, it looks somewhat strange. I don't have the coin at hand, will verify later. Die clashes are pretty common. My point was the overdate.
