The 6 on this 1796 Small Eagle was punched over a 5, leaving the earliest overdate in American coinage. Some 6,196 were minted, but in PCGS MS62+, this example is one of the finest known.

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15392 Posts	Posted 02/09/2026 5:18 pm Very nice example. We have a CCF expert contributor who recently published a book on the 'greatest' US overdate coins. It would be helpful if someone can post a link to that recent thread. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Edited by nickelsearcher 02/09/2026 5:19 pm Report this Post to the Staff
