 It had taken me 10 years to find this overdate mainly because this magazine was in storage most of that time. I know this thread should be in another forum, but being a overdate error on a error magazine, thought most error collectors would miss this thread if posted in another forum. Anyway, a few days back I thought I would go through 3 large plastic storage containers that held most of my numismatic books, catalogs and magazines. As I was sorting out my "Error World" magazines, I noticed that what I thought was a 2002 edition was in fact the January/Febuary 2003 edition, and had to do a double take as the "3" was under a "2" making it a 2003/2 overdate. I didn't think this was possible on a printing press, and still curious how this happened. Below are photos I thought I would share, and others that have this magazine can check theirs for the overdate, as I assume all of this edition are 2003/2.

Might I suggest it was done on purpose?

The editor must have been looking forwards to christmas a bit to much.

@jerseyben
Why would I waste my time faking this magazine cover when I could post photos of over 2,000 error coins...

I don't think jerseyben meant you faked it... I would assume he meant that he thought they did it on purpose... Being how its a magazine on errors maybe they were seeing who'd catch it.. That's how I took it anyways... And I originally thought the same thing.. But being that February is misspelled also now I'm leaning towards it wasn't... Really cool though... An error on an error magazine!

It would be funny if the publisher did it on purpose.

Sorry jerseyben, I had mistaken your comment thinking that I had somehow changed the cover. Guess I shouldn't have reacted so quickly...

Funny cover and great topic! 2002 dated errors are pretty elusive.
