MEXICO. 1/2 Escudo, 1847/38-DoRM/L. NGC AU-55.Fr-111; KM-378.1. Curious and perplexing overdate/overassayer combination. Slabbed as 1847/38 (unlisted), the 7 does appear to be over an 8 but the rest is unclear. This crude re-engraving style is typical of Durango. The overdate is not listed in Krause, nor is an overassayer for any date ending in 7 or 8. Oversayer not noted on slab insert. Weakly struck centers but with full peripheral detail. A lovely example worthy of extensive study by the specialist.NGC AU-55.
