Description

The 1810/09 overdate was made when a 1809 die, different from the one used for the coinage in 1809 was over punched with 1 and 0 digits. The NGC holder lists the S-281 variety with “AU Details, Environmental Damage”. To my eye, the Environmental Damage is quite light, not readily apparent unless carefully studied under magnification. The overdate is quite strong with traces of the O readily seen to both the left and right of the 1 digit. Attractively priced for the quality offered, as a comparison is straight grade AU the Greysheet currently shows $5200 and in XF40 $2400. A darker toning spot is noted under Miss Liberty’s bust above the 1 and 0 digits, much less apparent in hand then with my image. Current comparative listings are asking for a much higher amount. Serious offers are welcomed. Details
