O.103, R1. ex-CAC.

The 1824/2/0, otherwise known as "over various," is the most bizarre overdate in the CBH series. The WD was overstruck multiple times and maintenance to remove traces of the wrong numerals seems to have been slipshod.

But whatever the cause and whatever the numerals, one thing is certain: the obverse strike is poor due to the shallow design and excessive lapping. Stars are always large and flat. High points on the obverse wore very quickly. Grading, therefore, can be a little tricky as there is almost always a full grade difference in appearance, front and back.
