    Hi Everyone,
    I was going through some of the coins I had and I found this 1820 crown. Looking through the Spink book, I realized that there was an 1820/19 overdate. I was wondering if this is that variety? The last pic attached is an example of an overdate that was certified NGC AU-55.
    I would appreciate any help!
    Thanks! 1820 Final.jpg IMG_2916.JPG IMG_2918.jpg

    I don't collect foreign coins, but that looks pretty good to me.

    Just guessing, but figure this is not an inexpensive coin to purchase.
    Very nice piece,

    I don't collect errors or anything, but in my opinion, it appears to be the overdate variety.

    It's certainly 2 over 1, but whether there is an underlying 9 is not clear. Both 18(2/1)0 and 1820/19 are valid options. The 2 over 1 is usually clearest because it fills in the inner angle of the 2 to give a vertical edge rather than a sharp point. This 2/1 is clearer than many.
