I would agree it looks polished or cleaned at one point. I'm at xf Details.
I've been collecting for a couple years... Favorite Coin's are Standing Liberty quarters, Working on my type set | Coffee, Corvettes, Coins & the CCF what could be better? |

Enlarged the image but it wasn't sharp enough for me to be able to tell if it's the overdate. Can you post a larger, clearer picture of the date and mintmark if available?  IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Was able to enlarge from you original pictures. Still difficult to see if it's the overdate.

 EF-40 Details ,cleaned and polished . The top of the 8 on the left side is straight up and down not curved . Looks like a possible overdate 1918-S over 7 .  |

Without better photos I dont think this is a 1918/17 The bottom 8 doesn't have a definite line through it at a proper angle nor do I see a die clash next to liberties right knee.

Blew up the 8 in the add'l picture provided. Frankly the 8 in the date looks pretty beat up for a coin that has the exposed date so prominently struck up.

Think this third image is the best one you provided and unfortunately I don't see signs of the overdate.

Not seeing it either, I guess my one pic gave it an illusion of a possible 7, thanks.

the yellow tone to your photos are not helping. can you retake using natural lighting. doesn't look like overdate. I think its just wear or polishing that flattened parts of the date
