I think we all have a few special coins we hope to discover, and this is one of mine.
But, unless you collect Sweden overdates, you might not appreciate how tough it is to find this coin.
I have searched for this coin for many years, and just found it last week on eBay of all places!  :)
Numismatic sites in Sweden deem this overdate "rare" to "very rare".

This overdate has a prominent 6/5 marker, and I noticed it right away.
It's one of those cases of being in the right place at the right time.

First, the diagnostic marker from a collector site in Sweden:


This matches an overlay of the 6/5:


It's also one of the highest-valued Sweden overdates on Krause. The auctions in Sweden realized similar values.


Here's my coin--I would grade it aVF or perhaps 1/1+

Stort grattis!

Myntboken values this at 8,400 kronor in top grade, probably more like 2,000 kr for yours.

Thank you FosseWay, and for the valuation in Sweden.  :)   I got a real deal for just 5 Euros!  :D
I need the Myntboken--I have several other nice Sweden overdates.

An unidentified coin is a piece of metal. An identified coin is a piece of history.
