Belgium 1905 2 centimes (Dutch Text) Over date? [solved]

8 posts
I bought this coin and the owner did not know if the over date was 1905/2 or 1905/9. Maybe a member here could help. I am using the other owners pictures till I get it in the mail. THX Ed

Tough call on that one. I would lean more towards a cracked die maybe?.... Pass

Crack Die would make sense now I look at it. Glad I only paid $10.00 for it. Ed​

Perhaps repunched? Im not feeling the cracked die. At the ends of the 5 you can see seperation that looks like a potential misaligned punch. What does the variety guy here say?

IF it's an overdate, it can only be 1905/2, that's the only overdate that exists for that year. 1905/9 doesn't exist (1909/5 does).
You can see "something" on your picture, but I'm not sure it's an overdate.
I can't wait to get it in hand so I can look at it better. Ed

Got it today - To me it looks like a re punch 5.​

I do agree with the repunched 5. Bravo.
