Colombia 50c "1932/61"

Thought I'd share one of the cooler overdates (or die blunders) I've seen. I suspect what happened is the "19" was first punched upside down, then corrected. It doesn't look like much was done to polish away the first digits.

ah, Non-US.

Got it.

Neat

 

That is very interesting.. thanks for sharing!

 

Here is the culprit - SILVER

 

Right--50c in world coins often stands in for Cents, Centimes, Centavos, Centesimi, etc. And Colombia shouldn't be confused with the Columbia expo 50 cents

 

A nice example of over dating. Thanks for sharing.

 

I feel like I should buy you a shot of some weird, oddly flavored foreign booze every time you see a non-US coin

 

Very interesting blunder here Kurt, and that says a whole lot when talking about mid century Colombian coins

 

This error reminds me of the 1844/81 and 1851/81 large cent date punch blunders.

 

Probably every country has their 'acquired taste'...like Ouzo or Aquavit.

 

Not a fan of the caraway seed flavor, but I'll take me some fernet
