Can you think of a US coin that is an overdate for which no "underdates" are known?

For example, the 1805/4 half dollar is an overdate, yet there are no known 1804 half dollars. (Famed dealer B. Max Mehl once called this particular variety the "closest one can come to an 1804 silver half dollar.)

Anyway ... can you think of others? And do you have pix?

    Also, the 1803/2 $5 since there was no 1802 (other than the overdate) made.

    Sorry, but that does count as an 1802. Otherwise you would have to count the 1824/2/0 half, since there is no 1822/0.

    And an 1839/6 cent, where the 1836's were of a different head style.

    Shall we consider the inverted dates, such as the so-called 1844/81 and 1851/81 cents?

    I dont think so since it was just punched in upside-down rather than coming from an unused dated die
