O.102, R2.

The 1812 overdates are not as well struck as the yeardates which were the product of a different MD. Adding to the problem is the fact that most overdates received quite a bit of die lapping to remove or minimize traces of the underdate. The over all impression leaves one to conclude that these coins are more worn than they likely are. This extremely lustrous, colorful small-8 overdate has a slightly better than average strike (obverse) paired with a very nice EDS reverse. The thick skin adds a feeling of originality.
