Hey, Just update to an old thread, I sent the entire proof set in wanting to get the set graded in the government housing. However they made a mistake and broke them out, which worked in my favor. 1c Came back Close AM variety as expected... PF69UCAM 5C PF68 ULTRACAM 10C PF70 ULTRACAM 25C PF70 ULTRACAM 50C PF70 ULTRACAM |

Nice update ... congratulations.  I note that Coop has replied to your earlier question on "STATES" ... that is IMHO a much better indicator of WAM/CAM variety than viewing the well known separation between "AM" Wondering which TPG graded this set? I assume by your original post it was NGC but you did not say in the follow-up. David Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art |

They don't do that. I believe the only coin PCGS slabs in the government holder are the GSA dollars. NGC only does the GSA dollars, the brown and blue Ikes, and the first day cover president dollars.

NGC stopped using the multi-coin holder several years ago.

Overdates were found on 19th century coins were the dies were reused and each die was individually created. A die from a different year had a different punched digit added over an existing die used in a previous year.  The individual digits were added by hand to the dies. Thus the "Overton" listings for these dies. Note what happens when they don't fall exactly over the previously punched digits? They are called repunched dates.  Not like the 20th century where the design was made in a longer process of 4 steps.  So how did the 1942/1 dime and the 1943/2 nickel happen it they were not over dates? The die was hubbed with the previous years hub and then hubbed with the current year hub. So it was a die variety (doubled die) because it was hubbed with two different hubs. So the 1942/1 not an over date, but a doubled die.  Edited by coop

A die from a different year had a different punched digit added over an existing die used in a previous year. With only two exceptions (The 1806/5 quarter and half) no 18th or 19th century overdate is the result of a previously used die having a new digit punched in to be used in a subsequent year. Every overdate is the result of an unused and non-hardened die left over at the end of the year being re-dated. The 1865 Two Cent and Three Cent pieces you showed are not overdates,they are repunched dates. An overdate is the result of one date being punched in over a different date, A repunched date is a date being punched in over the SAME date. If you view the hub as simply a punch that contains the entire design, then you could say that the 42/1 and 43/2 ARE both doubled dies AND overdates because they are one date punched in over a different date.
