Date Later Than Final Issue:

1913 Liberty Head nickel

Definition: A coin carrying a date later than the last official date for the issue.

The 1913 Liberty Head nickel is a famous example of a coin struck with a date later than the final issue date. The final year for this issue was 1912.  It was replaced in 1913 by the Indian Head or Buffalo nickel. However, five 1913 Liberty head nickels were minted.  They are thought to have been intentionally fabricated.

Below are images of the “Hawaii Five-O” 1913 Liberty Head nickel. Images courtesy of Heritage Auctions.
