KM-372.2 1r 1848 Do RM –repunched date & assayer
Interesting coin with several variety attributes. First, all of the digits in the date have been repunched multiple times giving the final appearance of “18418”. The final “8” also has a period punched over the digit at the base. Lastly, the middle period and the letter “M” in the assayer has been repunched to show “.M / .M” or something else altogether

An interesting and somewhat visually messy overdate.
