The 1849 9 Over Widely Placed 6 is a second overdate variety for the year, distinguished from the standard 1849/6 by the position of the underlying 6 relative to the 9. The Widely Placed 6 designation indicates that the original 6 was positioned farther from its final location, creating a more spread-out doubled impression. Specialists distinguish the two varieties based on die diagnostics.
Both 1849 overdate varieties are collected as separate die marriages and command premiums over the standard 1849 date. The Widely Placed 6 variant is less common than the standard 1849/6 and is a more advanced target for variety collectors. Identification requires familiarity with both variants and typically benefits from reference comparison or certification.
