<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 4133132, member: 66&quot;]It was 1829 and they had a leftover unhardened 1827 obv die.&nbsp; Rather than waste an otherwise perfectly good die, they deliberately punched the 29 into the die over the 27 so they could use it. (The law required the coins to bear on them the date they were struck so legally they couldn&#039;t just the 1827 die as it was.&nbsp; Although they did sometimes do things like that.)&nbsp; So the overdate wasn&#039;t an &quot;error&quot; it was a deliberate choice made by the mint.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
