PCGS 1861/0 MS 66. Breen-3102, the Low Date variety. The three varieties of this overdate are discussed in detail and well photographed in The Gobrecht Journal, November, 1982. We have seen very few of these overdates and would agree with Breen's assessment of them as "very rare." The underdigit on this piece shows a sharp upper curve from the left base of the final 1, and the entire space between the 6 and 1 is blurry where the underdigit was not completely effaced.
The coin is sharply struck and shows excellent luster characteristics. The obverse is a gray-brilliant while the reverse has a muted golden-lilac patina. The only field disruptions we see are die clash marks on each side. This is the finest overdate certified by either of the major certification services (4/94).
