 - Bug in :class:`Series` and :class:`DataFrame` repr where ``np.datetime64('NaT')`` and ``np.timedelta64('NaT')`` with ``dtype=object`` would be represented as ``NaN`` (:issue:`25445`)
 - Bug in :func:`to_datetime` which does not replace the invalid argument with ``NaT`` when error is set to coerce (:issue:`26122`)
 - Bug in adding :class:`DateOffset` with nonzero month to :class:`DatetimeIndex` would raise ``ValueError`` (:issue:`26258`)
+- Bug in :func:`to_datetime` which raises unhandled ``OverflowError`` when called with mix of invalid dates and ``NaN`` values with ``format='%Y%m%d'`` and ``error='coerce'`` (:issue:`25512`)
