Time to revisit one of the most fantastic overdates there is!
I've had many of these over the years but it's these few mid-graded ones that I remember fondest!
So, go ahead and post yours 🤗

Perhaps my favorite overdate from any series, but definitely my favorite overdate from the CBH series. Here's mine-
In honor of the memory of Cpl. Michael E. Thompson
Holy crud that thing is well struck for the issue!

Absolutely love that Grey dirt example...at one time I aspired to build an entire set with that look.
Guess I could always start again!
And for sure the best strike I've seen for a 17/3 Lance 😊
I guess I should know this.. (I'm sure I did at one time..😜)
Was the obverse die used for any 1813 marriages?
Nice!
@lkeigwin....That coin is a real beauty.... Very, very nice indeed...Cheers, RickO
There's some wonderful coin here 🙂
Had to stretch for this one ... no regrets.

One of my favorite over dates as well. Great coins displayed above!
this is also one of my favorite coins. There are some great examples in this thread. Makes me really miss the one I sold a number of years ago when i decided to focus on draped bust material

No. It was an old, unused die.
Lance.
Makes me wonder what became of BusthalfBrian?
Did he own this piece previously?

It’s a HOLY CRAP alert!!
Lance, that’s amazing👌
It's a great overdate plus this variety appears to have lots of d/c's and clashes. A bunch of beautiful coins here.
I think so..this from an old post.
Hmmm...not the same coin I see now. Amazingly similar though🙂
I will add mine to this great collection
Pretty sure that’s a different coin. As for BhB, college perhaps?
Die lumps, heavy clashes, still strong overdate...early on in the die life this one is JRocco..
I have geeked out alot on this overdate through the years, but just noticed somethingthing I missed before...it looks like the stress from the heavy die clashing below the claws may have been the force that started cracking the die?
It really lines right up with the top of the clash..👆
Here is mine, it took me a while to find one for my collection. This one grades XF-45.

I believe I recently posted mine in another thread but it certainly belongs in this thread...

The slight weakness on star 3 is very distracting Dr.D, I think you could do better. Send this one promptly to me for disposal. 😜
I do believe Brian had to take some time off to go to college, why he can't do both, idk.
Yep ... similar toning. You gotta love those old albums!

Beautiful examples!
Great coins, all. I'm gonna have to break down and pick up an example one of these days...for some reason, in over 50 years of specializing in CBHs I've never managed to own one.
This comes as rather a shock..😵
I don't know jayPen he might have to part with a few of his thousands of 1827's ....
Some great coins in this thread! Someday I'll have one of those.
Well, John, you know that ain't happening.
