Great design too

<< <i>It looks like it was overstruckon something ....at least next to the 8 it looks like a '5' >>
That was what I thought too. Does the design have a small circle to the right of the 8, like the 5?
In any event, nice coin.
I think they may have undergraded that one, but what do I know since NGC are the experts.

I wonder what contemporary crown would have a 5 (or could it be an 8? looks like might be a 2 after it) in that position.. I can't think of anything off the top of my head, Brazil maybe?

I will have to look at it more closely in hand and report back.....thanks for the compliment.

Looks like and upside down and inverted "R" and "Z" to me next to the eight. Cool coin!

I agree if in hand is what I see - it is an AU58 for sure.
If it really bothers you - try crackin it even though I kinda like undercooked slabs
I've always loved the design, as well, and when Bill (WWW) offered one for sale over 3 years ago - I knew I had to own it.

BTW: It's a great coin, Roman and I'm glad you like it so much. It has a great history.
