jimbucks Pillar of the Community United States 4691 Posts	Posted 06/30/2022 6:24 pm Badly corroded. Can't tell if the corrosion is suggesting an overdate or there is an overdate. Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 06/30/2022 7:47 pm Doesn't help. Much sharper image needed of the entire date and field up to the eagle. Report this Post to the Staff
indian_hoarder Pillar of the Community United States 5079 Posts	Posted 06/30/2022 8:43 pm Appears to be the small letter variety, which would make it impossible to be the overdate. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 06/30/2022 8:44 pm I believe what you are seeing is just severe corrosion buildup. There would be no way to identify if this is an overdate in this condition. Additionally, where the 7 would be on a genuine overdate example is actually higher up than the corrosion buildup on your coin. The underlying 7 on a genuine overdate does not protrude into the side of the 8 like your coin does, another feature that is inconsistent with your example. Take a look at my example to compare: (Blue line represents where the overdate would be on your coin and the red represents the overdate on my example. It's not a match) Did you list this coin on ebay? https://www.ebay.com/itm/3140564613...s&media=COPY Hope this helps! -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Edited by CoinHunter27 06/30/2022 8:58 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 06/30/2022 8:55 pm The markers for this are just above the date to the right and in the field well above the date near the middle. Absolutely precise images will be needed to confirm this. In any event, the condition of this coin suggests a nominal value even if genuine. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 94892 Posts	Posted 06/30/2022 9:05 pm Coinhunter, you're going to have to help me here, but I'm just not see an over date on the one you just put up.

CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 06/30/2022 9:36 pm No problem Dearborn. I'll link my original post where I went over markers and such here: http://goccf.com/t/397316 I think one of the reasons this overdate doesn't command more of a premium than it already does it because it is so difficult to see. The only evidence left behind is the top right wing of the 7 and in lower grades it can be extra tough to see, and can sometimes disappear. Here's a PCGS example in MS EDS: Hope this clears it up! -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Edited by CoinHunter27 06/30/2022 9:39 pm Report this Post to the Staff
