Buy new glasses, or borrow mine.

 

It's just a 42-S

 

I find one interesting thing about overdates is that in years when it was done on one denomination, it often occurs on others.

I've been looking for an 1918/7 dime for forty years.

 

Think about it, how could it be a 2 over a 3 is the 42's were made BEFORE the 43's

 

There are some funky overdates out there due to dates being hand punched. E.g. 1920/10 Belgium 5 centimes. There is one that's 18xx/13xx, but I can't remember which coin it is.

 

Me? I'd sure like to find a 1900 over 1899 $20 Eagle, but no such luck CRH'ing.

A very tired old coin that needs to be put to rest.

 

In the first photo the 2 appears to be a 3 but that's due to the light reflecting off of the rim. In the second photo, it's clearly a 2 and nothing else.

 

Thank all of you.. Much appreciated.
