There are two overdates for this year, with the 1858/57 the scarcer of the two. The 8/7 on this coin is very clear, but I'm less certain of the 5/5. It's a mushy digit, but that could be that way for a lot of reasons. Not a steep premium for either overdate--it's just interesting to have!

The most rare overdate here is 858/557, not 58/57, and from the differences in the 8s I actually think you just might have got that one. This is not a typical 8 for the second digit. Still, I cannot conclude anything with confidence, but I believe there is every reason to look closer in your microscope. By the way - noone has ever (as far as I know) seen a 1557, so it is assumed to be en error that was discovered before minting. Report this Post to the Staff
DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 10/27/2011 2:11 pm Litotes, thanks for that information! Now that you mention it, the second 8 looks a bit odd. I did not realize there was a 1858/557. I think a closer look should help determine if there is a 8/5 on my coin. Report this Post to the Staff
