Any overdate varieties for the 1845 25c.....

DoubleEagle59

I'll try to post a picture soon as I have an 1845 25c with the '5' in the date doubled quite noticeably at the top.

Just wondering if there are any collectable overdates.

Well, this wouldn't be an 'overdate' as you say in your title, but just a partial repunched date.

Yes, these are available and known from 1845 and are moderately collectible

What you have is a large 5 punched over a small 5 in the date.
Briggs refers to it as OBV 3, REV C, and calls it an overdate in
his book. He states about 30% of 1845 issue is of this die pair.

It is not a hubbing caused doubling.

Sounds right, as the top of the '5' that is doubled is quite a bit shorter than the '5' in the date.

Thanks for the info.
