<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Treashunt, post: 1536804, member: 6763&quot;]Okay there are two types of overdates:</p><p><br /></p><p>Old (pre-hub) each digit of the date was punched into&nbsp; the die by hand. Then the die is still good, so they punched a new(er) date into the die.</p><p><br /></p><p>or</p><p><br /></p><p>With hubbing of dies:</p><p><br /></p><p>First the die is hubbed, or the design is placed on the die, then it is reheated and done a second time.. that is also how a doubled die occurs.</p><p><br /></p><p>In the same way, with the second hubbing the wrong date is used, or just to save money, as in war time with the 1943/2 Jeff nickel, or the Merc dimes.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, very technically, an overdate, like the 1942/1 Philly or Denver dimes, is actually a doubled die, but only part of the doubling (the date change) is normally visible.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
