Yes, both of your coins are overdates...the 1812/1 small 8, and the 1829/7.
By the same token, what is the fetish with high grade MS coins that never served the purpose for which they were minted? I never understood why...
Altered date/MM coins are just exactly that--altered date/MM coins. Nothing about them is counterfeit. Take a real 1909 VDB cent. Add an S...
Yes, but that IS illegal. The other isn't.
If you overprint 1934 $1,000 bills and make no claim the Federal Reserve issued it as a series of 1935.
Looks like 5.00 to me.
Counterfeit what? How can one counterfeit something which never existed?
I can see why it would be among your favorites. Very nice.

Nice...if you're interested, it's O-112 (hey, I can't help it; it's a sicknesso_O) Check the obverse for a die crack which circles from the front...
Can't be real; the reverse is larger than the obverse side.
One thing to add: the JR-5 (as well as the JR-4) is the 1830/29 overdate. I doubt that it is worth any premium in this condition, but it fills...
You are correct. (One more reason not to do this at work using online pics rather than wait until one gets home and can look at the book and his...
