<p>[QUOTE=&quot;vintagemintage, post: 3073597, member: 75988&quot;]I just received this coin from Heritage:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]772646[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]772647[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>In their listing they described it as:</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;<b>Republic 8 Reales 1833 Zs-OM AU55 NGC,</b> Zacatecas mint, KM377.13, DP-Zs13. Medal Axis. <span style="color: #ff0080">We have reason to believe that this is actually the normal date variety rather than the NGC overdate designation.</span> Handsomely toned with a remnant luster that radiates beneath. An interesting die clash is present on the reverse that gives the eagle an emission of rays as well. A decent strike with some dimensionality to the cap as it appears to hover over the rays.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve taken more pictures of the date at various angles because it looks to me like <i>something</i> more than &quot;normal date&quot; happened to the last <i><b><span style="color: #ff0080">2</span></b></i> digits (and lettering on the reverse too) on the die:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]772648[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]772649[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]772650[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]772651[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]772652[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The slabbed coin was also accompanied by a paper envelope in a Mylar flip with a sticker carrying the same lot number as the coin. There are some notes on it that must have significance to somebody, but other than the mint/date/assayer I can&#039;t tell what they mean. Can anyone clue me in?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]772653[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Interestingly, while Heritage noted the reverse die clash, it appears that both dies are clashed.</p><p><br /></p><p>So I&#039;m wondering, is NGC&#039;s overdate designation correct?</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; or.. .</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; is Heritage&#039;s normal date attribution?</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; or...</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; is this another variety?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
