I have a coin that seems to be older than the date stamped on it. Is this possible? Could the coin be a rare collector's item or is there some other explanation for the discrepancy in its age?

When a coin bears an older date than stated, it often suggests a specific minting process.

One theory suggests that this occurrence may result from a light application of each number punch during the minting stage.
