Overdate

A coin that has been labeled an overdate is a great addition to any collection. If your collecting error coins, then an overdate is a must have.

An overdate coin is a coin that has one date imprinted over the top of another. This was common in the past when one die would span multiple years. These errors are not so common with modern coins.

This indian head penny is an excellent example of an overdate error. The last eight was clearly punched over a seven.
