1906 10 centimes (French Text) with potentially a double "6" [gelöst]

I came across what appears to be a double 6 on the date. I am not sure if this would be of interest to add to the site for other users to be aware or not. Just a thought. Out of curiosity for me, would this be significant error to add much to the coin's value? Or was it a common issue and thus it has not been identified in Numista as a “variant”. Cheers.

There's already three 6/5 overdate varieties on the Dutch language coin and one on the French language coin. What's one more? They don't seem to affect the value according to the Dutch language coin page.

Thank you for the very prompt reply. I did see the 6 over 5 image, where the outline of the 5 is clearly visible. I have taken a screen shot of the 6/5 image in Numista (first image below). The image I sent looks like a 6 as the outline of the second strike (has the contour shape as a 6, not a 5). Reattaching for side by side comparison (second image below). I think they look different, and have noticed this variance has been outlined for other coins, but maybe for this one it is not that important. It does not matter to me either way if it is not worth adding to the page. I only sent it in case it was deemed as an interesting FYI to the community. All the best.

I agree. 6/6 

A bit late to the party, but this is a known variant. Double 6 north.

Good morning. As a personal FYI, if I come across variances that are not shown on the site, is it okay to send in a photo and a question? I do not wish to bother anyone, nor am I looking to have my name shown, but I am interested in sharing variances that are not depicted if it helps the community. So I am not sure if I am going about this the right way or not by sending a bit of info and a photo. If not the right way, then I will stop sending in photos of variances that I did not see pictured. Hope my rambling makes sense. Cheers everyone!

I always love a good & real variant, and if it is a Belgian coin I can check if it is known in the local community.

Hi and welcome to numista,

Please go on with your research. I'm a variant collector and documenter, so of course I always agree to at least lieve a comment in the year line and then a documentation in the comments section.

You're NOT bothering anybody. I don't think your 6 over 6 has been documented before.

In this case the year line is OK, but we miss the image in the “comments” section….. if you want to, I can set it up for you?

Sure and thanks. I thought I had added the image, but obviously I had not. 

Here it is again.

And thank you for the help getting this updated properly.

All the best!!

Here is the documentation I set up for the two overdate variants. You are welcome to use it for the 1906 french coin, since NONe of the overdates were shown in images as they ought to be.

If you don't know how to do it, just tell me and I'll do it.

Take care

Thank you so much. Looks great. 

BTW, I just posted a completely separate question on what I believe is a contemporary 1929R 10 Lire counterfeit (only weighs 7.36 grams, but has the right diameter and thickness). Will see what the community thinks.
