<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paddy54, post: 2936794, member: 19250&quot;]There is a 1862/1 variety I&#039;m very ware as I have one in my collection.</p><p>But there are several experts who have refuted the over date. Even though I own a rather nice example in a au grade I have to believe the evidence pointed out by these experts.</p><p>In Breens encyclopedia of US and Colonial coins he refers to this as &quot;an usually. With some sort stages of a die crack from the rim though first star &quot;</p><p>There&#039;s no medal seen below the base of the 2...or above the top of the 2.</p><p>The only medal seen is between the top knob and left base of the 2.</p><p>If you investigate this futher you&#039;ll realize that if you do an over lay of the 1 and 2 in the date that evidence of the underlying number doesn&#039;t support an over date or repunch. There&#039;s no remnants of the digit 1.</p><p>Or is there any to show where it had or has been cleaned up . Thus the variety is nothing more than the results of two die cracks.</p><p>That said it isn&#039;t obvious just something that has fallen through some loop holes in varietes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
