I purchased this coin in August off of ebay as an '1882'. The last digit strongly looks like a '3' was punched over a '2'. I've checked my Charlton book and online references and haven't found anything regarding any specific overdates for 1882 or 1883. The first four pics are from my semi-adequate cell phone camera. The last two are the seller's pics. What's your opinion? Overdate? Report this Post to the Staff

To prove an overdate, you need to find a AU or MS example, which would exclude the possiblity of PMD... No new variety can be confirmed with a G or VG example, where PMD is common.

87redcivic New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 10/06/2016 12:38 pm Thanks for the input everybody. It looks like the best I can hope for is that a second example (hopefully higher grade) comes to light. Hopefully it isn't PMD, but until another one shows up, it looks like the community and experts can't say definitively determine that this is an over-date. Check your 1882's everyone :-) Thanks again for your time! Report this Post to the Staff
