One of the most readily available overdates, with high grade examples up to MS65. Usually overdates command significant premiums, but 1818 overdate premiums are quite a bit less than all of the earlier years. The obverse die was used a second time on the O-103.

According to Edgar Souders, he estimates that the projected mintage for this overdate is approximately 392,062. Get his book Bust Half Fever and read all about overdates and how he came up with the number! This number would include three Overton varieties, O-101, O-102, and O-103.
