Since I only collect Morgan and Peace dollars, I don't know if this happens to other coins, but I know there are a number of years and or mint marks on Morgans where a CC might have been struck over a D or and 8 over a 7. Just how does that happen. Report this Post to the Staff

tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7159 Posts	Posted 09/17/2024 6:27 pm There are also plenty of examples of overstruck coins in some of our collections. But these also involve changes in the design. In early 18th century France, the coinage standards were constantly changing. The old types were collected and struck over with the new types. In other places and times this happened because it was more economical to do so. But I don't think that's what you are talking about.
