I see something behind the seven.. If it's a digit the only possible is a 6.. Any opinions are welcome..
Thanks in advance..

Well, an overdate is certainly possible, but the variety is not cataloged so far as I can determine, nor do I see incontrovertible evidence for it in this specimen. Looks as if there was a die pit or chip to the upper right of the 7, though. Also an odd mottling in the fields, which could be a factor here.

I collect overdates, I have perhaps one "discovery piece". It's less common but possible; not all are documented.
What I've found is that many overdates have predictable diagnostics in terms of what's seen on the underlying digit.
On a 7/6 for example, you often see a remnant of the 6's curve because the downward stroke of the 7 doesn't cover much.
Here's a montage of recurring overdate markers--from my collection.

Maybe it's a repunched 7.. ? But a 6 is still possible..

I tried to make a better picture with my compact camera but I miss daylight.. I have to wait until Saturday, because when I start work it's dark and back home.. already dark..

The way I scrutinise potential overdates--I'm looking for a mark that is best explained by an overdate.
For example, here's a Norway 1 øre from 1932. While this one isn't documented, the curved mark (black arrow) underneath the "3" is never seen on a 3 digit of this time, but does closely match the 2 punch. The additional marks underneath the "2"--while unclear--seem to bolster the idea of an overdate too. I've tentatively called this a 1932/29. The last 2 digits were added to dies from the Kongsberg mint at this time.

Oke it's a repunched 7.. After I took several photo's I noticed some more faint leftovers of it..

Maybe a mod can change the topic title in 1897/7 instead of 1897/6?

Nice work on the photos and outline overlays.
There's ample evidence to suggest it's a 1897/7.



Oh look--my 10000th post!
