is it just me or has anyone else noticed the frequency in which this coin pops up on Ebay, mostly in very high grades. Over the last year there have been quite a few and all reach very respectable prices. There is one in there now 1860 described as EXCEEDINGLY RARE. Is it the same coin just doing the rounds or is it not as rare as thought?

All the features described by the seller are normal for this overstrike, the A over A and the O in one. The die flaw to the right of the 1 of the date is identical to the one that I own. Also quite a few of the letters on the Obv are recut or double struck.

Like this? Although this is the same coin/seller as your link but it didn't sell on that occasion.

It's apparently not THAT rare, although admittedly still scarce...... I've owned about 8-10 over the years, between upgrading etc.... and have found 4 or 5 of them...... All in varying condition, from a well worn good to a nice EF+ (US grading standard).....

Much like the F-14, Scarce but not rare....I've also owned about 8-10 of those, and have found all but 3.......
