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.
