1853, 5/4 Groat

[Coppers 58]

An unlisted overdate in Vicky Silver's collection....

Thanks for posting!  This is actually an ebay purchase that was about 25 USD by recollection. I still did not take credit for a currency 1853 on it, should I? Regardless, this overdate is far more rare than what seems to be inferred from Spink.

 

PS   I managed to secure the 1853 currency groat from the last major Heritage sale, and even with it in hand can not say with certainty that it is not a lightly circulated proof, though I lean toward that coin being currency.
