So I found an overdate at last weekend's coin show.
It's a bit more worn than my other copy but the overdate is still visible. I'm unsure what's going on above the 2, but I suspect it happened after minting.

I'm not sure it's the same die as this coin, because of the die cracks and the repunching under the "1".

Probably different dies, the "6" looks distinctly different on the two coins. First one has flat left side with the knob of the 5 bulging out, second one is more curved like a normal 6.

You are most likely right--yeah, that's why I was unsure--the 6/5 looks slightly different too.
And there's another 76/5 that looks like this, with a repunching under the 7.

I guess they went cheapo and refurbished multiple dies
