I saw something in the lettering under the loupe, but I didn't make the connection with the E/N variety listed in Krause until I got home. But clearly under magnification, the E in REGINA is punched over an N. detail of E/N:   06-11-2008, 09:20 PM   #2 (permalink) rzage What Goes Around Comes A     Join Date: Apr 2008 Location: Chicago Posts: 5,563 My Mood: Beautiful Wow!

Very nice coin indeed! I have the same date without the E/N but it's an interesting example of a "false overstrike". You mentioned that only under magnification this becomes clear. The one I have looks like the variety to the naked eye, but under magnification it becomes clear that it's only a faded portion of the E and some warping from (I guess) something pressing on that spot. Thanks for the large pictorial example.   Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk? Coin Talk Code of Honor 1.
