The 8/9 on this overdate is pretty dramatic--it's an easy one to spot even in online pictures. While this is described as an 1901/801, this coin wasn't struck before 1869. Since no repunching is visible on the last two digits, I think they had some unused dies from the prior century with only "18" on them. So they polished off some of the "8", and repunched it with a "9". Then they added the last two digits. There are at least 2 different 9/8 dies for this year: one is called "near 1", the other is "far 1". I'm unsure which this is, but I suspect it's the "far" type. The coin is copper, so it doesn't take much to ding it up, even in better grades. Krause gives this variety a small premium.
