Skyriver New Member United States 19 Posts	Posted 02/04/2017 02:26 am Has anyone come across or heard about a Shield nickel with overlapping dates? I've done some research and thought I'd try the community too. I can post a photo of my nickel but first need to get my camera outfit set up so my photos are better than my phone photos. I was wondering if anyone was knowledgeable about this particular error? Thank you for any help you can offer! Report this Post to the Staff

Skyriver New Member United States 19 Posts	Posted 02/04/2017 11:55 am Thanks see_691 The coin is in an old, sealed, cardboard coin protector from my fathers coin collection. I, personally think, the handwritten date (on the cardboard is the error). When I look at the coin, it looks like the coins date is 1883 over 1882. Report this Post to the Staff
Skyriver New Member United States 19 Posts	Posted 02/04/2017 12:05 pm Thank you all for your help. The coin definitely has an overdate. I'll get photos and go to a coin shop. Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 02/05/2017 12:45 am Really do need photos, there are a LOT of 1882 with heavy 2's out there that are misidentified as 1883/2's. (Including a lot of them being sold by dealers as the overdate.) Edited by Conder101 02/05/2017 12:46 am Report this Post to the Staff
