PNG member, numismatic dealer since 1965. Operates a retail store, also has exhibited at over 1000 shows. I firmly believe in numismatics as the world's greatest hobby, but recognize that this is a luxury and without collectors, we can all spend/melt our collections/inventories.
Here's one that is listed as "possible overdate"... but I just don't see it?? 1888/7 Auction Link
I've been looking at the 1888 Indians on eBay... was surprised at the raw prices (I don't know the prices in this area at all)... but was even more surprised by the amount of "overdates" I had seen listed (and either didn't seem to be overdates or had such crappy or tiny pictures that even if they were you wouldn't know it).

Once a week I do a search on the forum for "IH" and "Indian Cent" for something interesting.
This week the only new post was yours.
This is an overexposed 1888 upside down cake, with everything doubled and/or tripled - the date on both sides.
Try harder.

You don't see it for good reason, it's not an 1888/7.
The real deal.
The EBay coin.
