Hello,
Back again with more overstrike shenanigans. Found this 1889 North Borneo cent that has a seemingly unique overstrike / overdate that made it into an 1899. I've looked at it from many angles and it isn't a die chip on the right hand side of the 8 making it look like a 9. The whole date is cracked and wobbly like many overdates on other coins too.

Last photo is what every other 1889 looks like for reference


Any info on it would be great,

Thanks for looking

I wouldn't use overstrike to describe this. This would be an overdate.

Overstrike is when old coins are used as planchets with new design.
