<p>[QUOTE="NSP, post: 3257817, member: 74849"]I would be inclined to think they repurposed a three year old die. Chief engraver Robert Scot died in 1823, so it’s thought that the mint had to overdate many old dies to keep up the pace while being down a chief engraver. Most series have overdates in 1823, 1824, and 1825, possibly for this reason.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
