dbang1988 Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 Hi I am have been seeing collectors in this forum mentioning the word "overdate." But I am not sure what that refers to? And what does this affect on the coin's value? Sincerely, Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gxseries Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 Overdate is just nothing more fanciful than the term used to describe a reengraved year, i.e. the original die might have been in 1730 but then in 1731, there was a shortage of dies, and an old 1730 die was engraved from 0 to 1 and tada! New die for coinage. Depending on the unusual overdate years, often they don't add too much of a value and this is relatively common on the huge 5 kopeks of Catherine II. However there are some unusual discoveries these few years so you might want to hang on to them, especially if you can find them on other coinages. Welcome to coinpeople by the way.
