gxseries Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 Here is a batch of overdate coins that I bought over the last few days, if not weeks. I'm losing track of time First is the 1821/0 poltina Getting a bit difficult to find but I'm hoping to find the 1821/0 ruble to pair them up. And here are two that I recently bought from Blackhawk - I'm quite puzzled over the overdates as these are struck a lot later. First one is a 1878 20 kopek: At closer look, it seems that the 8 is overdated over 7 Another one is this 1880 20 kopek: At closer look, this too seems that the 8 is overdated over 7 and the 0 might be overdate on another digit, could be a 7. I grabbed a look at Severin and it seems the mintage for 1877 20 kopek is one of the lowest. Do you see the overdate as I do and what is going on? I thought overdates would have pretty much died out by then. Also, what is the last known overdated coin for Imperial Russian coinage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know nothing about the 1878 but overdates for 1880 (10, 15, 20 kopecks) have been published. In the case of the 1880 the ones I have seen are over a die with 187–, meaning that the final digit had not been added. This gives the appearance of 1880/1870 but is really 1880/187–.
