Thanks Sean. I forgot because, I mostly see them labeled as Overprint and seldom have seen them labeled Overstrike. But I have seen some people say overstriike.

As Sean says, "overprint" in the description of this back refers to the bar that overprints (or overstrikes) the original factory number.

Yeah, sorry I was trying to work it in a way that made sense haha. But I always thought that it was a possibility that it was over printed. Sean has confirmed that that is not the case hence they're scarce. I actually own about 6 or 7 of them.
