Overdate Discovered

I recently bought a PCGS graded 1923 Belgian Congo 50 Centimes (Flemish version) that was graded MS64. The grade looked right. But within seconds of looking at this coin with a loupe I noticed that it was an overdate of 1923/2, which was not listed in KM. The overdate was easy to spot so I looked the coin up in a Belgian reference book that I have and noticed that the overdate is known to them.

I resubmitted this coin to PCGS and they corrected the date. I was sure to supply them with a copy of the Belgian catalogue page from that reference book. Now the coin is correctly labeled in the holder. All it took was to actually look at the coin and not just the holder.

The new overdate will be added to the KM World Coins catalogue.
