    Here's a recent find off ebay. The seller's pictures were blurry, but I thought I could just make out the overdate. Fortunately, I scored this time--it's in great condition and the 1/0 is easy to see. As for Krause calling it an 1910/00...this coin wasn't minted in 1900. So either it was a mistake dating the die, or a die was reused from 1905-9. Given the right side of the "0" is missing, it's easy to imagine another digit could be totally polished away.

    There's some nice toning on this coin! :D

    Here's the date area itself in case it's hard to see above:

    Krause gives it a nice premium--I paid a normal MS60 price.

    Thanks! You never get to choose the grade when hunting for overdates, so I'm pretty jazzed about this coin! :D The small obverse rim cud at 9:00 might be another marker for pickup on this overdate.
