Is this an over date 5/6? There is definitely some raised material.

    Forget the over date. Great pictures! Let's see the entire coin.

    I’ll need to look for them. Or, look for the coin and take some photos later….😅

    I'm not saying it's not an over date. I just like the pictures.

    How can you have a 5 over 6?

    While interesting, I have no conceptual idea of how it could have occurred. Why would a 1936 die even be made and used for a 1935 planchet. I'm not nearly educated enough to compile the steps that would be required for such an event. Fantastic photos, Criselda, as per usual.

    Thanks, Jim! And yes, it is almost impossible to have an over date that is a year ahead. It just look like a 6 underneath. Nice overlays by the way 👍🏻

    I would say not an overdate (5/6)... Excellent pictures and there is some form of die deterioration. Cheers, RickO
