KurtS Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 Hi! I haven't posted here for a while. I specialize in world overdates—does anybody here collect them? While all my overdates are listed in Krause, there are no visual clues as to the markers; I had to do the research myself. Here are a few of my favorites; perhaps this visual reference will help other collectors. Australia 1933/1932 Penny In this overdate, I believe the whole date was rehubbed, not just the last digit.

KurtS Posted June 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 I have the Belgium 5c 1920/10 too--it's a pretty obvious one! Here's another one I found recently from Belgium; A 2c 1919/4 They're hard to find, but since few others look for them, I often luck out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 Very interesting collection. Great photography too. I have never looked at any of my coins for them. In fact I have never even checked most of my US coins for overdates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KurtS Posted June 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 Thanks! I searched for US overdates for a while, but they are very difficult. The easiest overdates to find appear to be large cents, but I've never spotted any. Very interesting collection. Great photography too. I have never looked at any of my coins for them. In fact I have never even checked most of my US coins for overdates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadpoint Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 Wow! Great photos of some great examples! I hope to see more in this thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KurtS Posted June 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 Thanks! I have more, such as this Denmark 1902/802 1 Øre. The date is tiny, but you can see the underlying 8. If anyone has pictures of their overdates, please post them! Wow! Great photos of some great examples! I hope to see more in this thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Neat, and nice pictures! The 1858 one kind of reminds me of the Canadian 1859/8 1c. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 I love overdates. I used to have a US collection and later moved on to other collecting subjects. Good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiho Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Very impressed with the first set of photos! I have a 1761/1758 Swiss gold quarter ducat with a spectacular overdate. Someday I'll liberate it from my safe deposit box, take a few closeup photos and add it to this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
constanius Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Nice collection & pics, this is just a medal but it is an overdate 1821/1820, but I believe they all were.

ScottO Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 that is how clear the overdate is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KurtS Posted June 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 Scott, nice coin! The overdate looks clearer on your 1920 2/1--perhaps there are two dies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottO Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 its seen little wear as well, it still has a slight shine to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KurtS Posted June 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 Your 1920/10 is a better grade; it looks XF+ to my eyes. Apparently, many of these Belgium overdates have two versions; one with the Flemish obv (Belgie), and another with the French (Belgique) The Belgium overdates have a modest premium in Krause, but I'm unsure about the 1920/10--perhaps the mintage is higher on the variety? Belgium is a good country to look for overdates, since nary a dealer cares about them. Great to meet other collectors who do! Here is the 5c 1906/5 Belgique and 1905/4 Belgie; my 1905/4 is a similar grade to your 1920/10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KurtS Posted June 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 I found an interesting overdate at a show today that's also an error. At first, I thought this coin was damaged, until I noticed the weak rim opposing the clip (arrows). Maybe a second center hole partially overlapped the planchet? The size seems close, and the "blakesley effect" suggests this isn't PMD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saankarite Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 my example is mostly an overstruck, but you may find it useful. it's an austrian coin, 7 kreuzer, 1802, overstruck on a 12 kreuzer coin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottO Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 1888/7 shilling, this is a common overdate another common overstike, 20 centismi 1918 struck over 1894 or 1895 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KurtS Posted August 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 Here is a common variety; I have found several of the 1904/804 and 1902/802 at shows. Technically, it's not a real overdate, since "1802" wasn't a date in use. Since the date is so small, I'm guessing a wrong digit was used, which later had to be corrected? [umm] the 9/8 is visibly protruding on the lower half of the 9. According to this source, the premium is small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KurtS Posted August 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 This is another bargain bin find. Despite the small size of this Belgian cent, the 9/8 is easy to see. I cannot see the 01/99, but I'll assume it's the documented overdate. This coin grades around XF. According to Krause, this one has a modest premium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KurtS Posted September 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 While not technically an overdate, this is one of my favorite finds. The E in REGINA was originally punched with an N, then fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
