    It's not uncommon to see coins with 2 different years on them, especially for designs that commemorate an anniversary (like the bicentennial "1776-1976").

    But what about designs that show 4 (or more?!) dates? I would think they're quite uncommon. I don't know why I've never noticed it before, but here are two normal circulating coins, each with 4 different years on its reverse side.

    It's just something trivial, I guess - but if you know of other coins with 4 or more dates on them, I'd be curious to see them. Please share. Thanks.

    (For those who clicked on this, thinking it's about Quadrupled Die errors - Sorry....)

    There was a crazy Czech commemorative that had one side absolutely covered in dates. I'm wracking my brains and trying to find it on Numista. I don't remember the exact (primary) date of the coin, or the denomination. Just that it was a modern Czech coin, and loaded with dates.

    Those Statehood quarters are good examples of the "4+ dates" category.

    Edit: Boom! Here 'tis. Found it!

    Eighteen dates on the reverse! :woot:
    I didn't post the pic here due to copyright, but check out the Numista link.

    That is a great trivia question for anyone who collects state quarters.

    How many Statehood Quarters show Presidents on both sides? (Easy one.)

    What's additionally hilarious is that Krause/Numismaster/NGC uses the "ND" (no date) descriptor in their catalog listing. The coin has eighteen dates on it, and they call it "ND". LOL!

    (I know, they do that a lot with dual-dated issues, for some reason.)

    Figured they would have called it a 2004. It says 1.5.2004 in the center of the obv.

    Four dates? Do they all have to be different? Does an overdate count as two dates? If so, what about this 1823/2 over 1823/2? 1823 N-01 BEv XF40 Dbl Struck.jpg

    Wow... Would this be called a Double Strike of an Over Date?

    Well, They all have Washington on the front, and ...
    1) South Dakota has four on the reverse: Washington, Jefferson, Teddy Roosevelt and Lincoln on Mt Rushmore.
    2) New Jersey has two on the back in the boat > Washington (standing) and James Monroe (holding the flag).
    3) Illinois has Lincoln on the back.
