It is one of this cataloger's favorite overdates in U.S. coinage due to the extreme clarity of the feature -- the 3 underdigit is clear as little, if any attempt was made to efface it before production began. This Choice VF example has light gray surfaces with delicate toning on each side. A couple of trivial marks on each side are consistent with the grade (PCGS # 6111) . Estimated Value $900 - 1,000.
