Not seeing anything indicating that it's the overdate, but it's your call if it's worth submitting.

Indeed a very worn specimen, but I think the last pic shows what's left of the stub of the 7. Date position of each digit relative to the denticles confirms this as far as I'm concerned.
I have owned several of these and even the G-04 slabs seem to sell at good money even though the overdate is not really visible to the naked eye, and often hardly so even with a glass. Never really understood this.
Nonetheless, if it were mine, I'd spend the money to have it graded at PCGS (not ANACS). Not much of an investment given the return potential.

I decided to send this coin to grading after I have couple more coins that are worth sending to PCGS (and if I ever figure out how to deal with customs Finland and U.S). I'll post results I hope sometime in late december or january.

PCGS is the right choice, and by all means let us know! Good luck.

Khedlim, it will not be December or January. PCGS turnaround times in america have been around 3 months! You might be looking at April or may. Good luck on the grades though

Here's the 2nd 8 side-by-side from the OP and CoinFacts (AU 58BN) respectively:  It should be more revealing to have slightly brighter incident lighting originating from a SW direction towards the OP specimen for this type of shot. |

Can't argue, but I've owned a couple of these slabbed G-04 or G-06 where it was almost impossible to see thee stub of the 7 even under magnification. I made my analysis based on the digit positions relative to the denticles, and while I'm hardly Rick Snow, I have not seen another die with these positions so close. Your suggestion of a new camera angle makes sense.  |

The stub of the 7 in the op's photo looks too much toward the center of the 8.

Agree. The right hand spot is probably just a reflection of some sort of coincident circulation mark, but the left spot is in the correct area for the right edge of the stump, if you follow.

Seems more likely to be an incidental corrosion spot to me, but hope I am wrong!

Little update. I searched and fought with customs and post office (Finland) for several things. I'll be sending this and few other coins for grading to PCGS-europe march 2017 via coin shop from Germany. So next update to this post from me will either be sad face or slab picture.  |

For this coin I didn't send it to PCGS. I asked opinion from Eage eye webpage admin, who I think is Rick Snow. For me Admin said dentacles are off from 1888/7 variety so there is that.
For march submission I'll go with 1883CC Morgan and San Francisco Oakland Bay Bridge Commemorative. Anyways happy hunting and I'll see you next time.

From looking at the pic below the one with the white glove, it looks like a good candidate for an FS-305. You can see several of the little pieces of 8 in the curls.  |
