1863 one penny with "3 over 3" in date exists?

Hi all
Any ideas of this date variety? I can't see any repunched 3 (3 over 3) variety on google.
Thanks

There is no reason why any digit or letter should not be recut. In the Victorian era, dies were regularly reinforced by repunching a letter to 'unblock' letters. A 3 would be no different in this regard. It is important not to get too hung up over repunched letters which are not errors, just a normal feature when taken in context.

Agree with Rob. Freeman in his book says that one has to stop somewhere else every coin is a variety in itself.

That said this coin has a clear 3 over 3 so to call it an overdate is warranted but to call it a new variety would be taking it a bit too far.

Thanks for the help, I like these bronze coins and was just wondering if there is such variety, it seems this is common in pennies.
Otherwise, I have many farthings from the 1860s with similar overdates.
Have a nice day!
