[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 37459, member: 112"]NOS - If this helps put you at ease - if Ian is correct and the coin is genuine - then it is worth perhaps a few dollars more than you paid for it. That's it - no more. My earlier comments about the coin possibly being worth $100 - $200 were based on what appeared to me to be remnants of a Z mint mark. But your new, clearer pictures dispell any possibility of that. The comment of Ian's that I agree with is that yes, the coin likely is an overstrike. Again your new pics indicate this.

My last several post have been for one purpose only - to discuss the coin and the information contained in various books on the subject - as I said to learn.
