Lot Description

According to Bill Fivaz and J.T. Stanton in their popular <em>Cherrypickers' Guide</em> (2015 edition), this well known overdate was discovered by John Cobb in 1963. The authors further note, "The overdate is believed to be due more to economy (the Mint having used a good die another year) than to error." While we have handled a number of Gems over the years, few were as visually appealing as this PCGS MS-66 with rich multicolored toning to both sides.
