<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lordmarcovan, post: 3002827, member: 10461&quot;]Here&#039;s another cheap-n&#039; -cheerful cherrypick from a bulk bag.&nbsp; Cost me maybe 10-20 cents.&nbsp; It catalogs $7 in VG and $14 in Fine, but I think it has a &quot;coolness quotient&quot; beyond that.</p><p><br /></p><p>(Portuguese) <a href="https://www.ngccoin.com/price-guide/world/azores-5-reis-km-9-1795-1799-cuid-1035771-duid-1212501" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ngccoin.com/price-guide/world/azores-5-reis-km-9-1795-1799-cuid-1035771-duid-1212501" rel="nofollow">Azores 5 Reis, 1795, KM9.</a></p><p><br /></p><p>It was overtstruck on an earlier coin.&nbsp; You can see a lot going on with the undertype here.&nbsp; The plate coin on the NGC/Krause page I linked to shows some pretty bold traces and ghosting as well- you can even read the undertype&#039;s 1776 date on that example! </p><p><br /></p><p>You can see some of the undertype coin&#039;s date on mine, too, if you look above and to the left of the big &quot;5&quot;.&nbsp; In fact, I&#039;m pretty sure the ghost date here says &quot;1776&quot;, as well!</p><p><br /></p><p>Anybody know what the earlier type was?&nbsp; I havent fully researched that yet.&nbsp; When the earlier coin&#039;s design is known, it would be fun to see some of those transparent overlays, though I lack the skill and software to do those.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]743315[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]743316[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
