1859/8 Overdate Half Sovereign



The next overdate in the series is the 1859/8. I've sighted a couple of these and it is one of the less recognized overdates which may be commonly found amongst normal 1859 examples (Learn more about the 1859 Half Sovereign). I would estimate that around 30 or 40 examples of this overdate are in existence today though much fewer have been sighted.
