Added my first overdate to the PCGS G06 Matron Cent set!

I am always fascinated by the use of dies from non consecutive years put into service via overdate. I can imagine it being late November of 1824 when a die shatters. Into the vault for a fresh obverse 1824...no luck. What do I see in the corner...a dusty 1822....grind down that last 2 real quick and punch a 4 over it. No waste at the mint!
