Misplaced Date Index

The Liberty Seated Dime series presents the collector with a host of Misplaced Dates. What is a Misplaced Date? Larry R. Steve in his introduction to Kevin Flynn's 1997 book entitled "Two Date Are Better Than One - A Collector's Guide To Misplaced Dates", defines a Misplaced Date as: A date or digit(s) of the date that is fully or partially punched into the legend, devices, denticles or any part of the field not normally associated with the general location of the date on the coin. Misplaced Dates are often referred to as an MPD.

A quick reference is provided to simplify the researching of potential new misplaced date discoveries. Select a major design group link to view a date level list of misplaced dates within that design group. Each misplaced date listing is linked to its variety page in the Date and Mintmark Variety Analysis section. Once you have selected the misplaced date link and have viewed the variety page, you must use your back button to return to the misplaced date design group page.
