The last digit of the date, 9, appears to have the top horizontal line of a "7" sticking out from underneath it. Please give me any and all opinions. I am super excited over this. Rare? Valuable? Or is this something I am completely misinterpreting? Thanks in advance. Report this Post to the Staff

scsterry New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 11/23/2018 7:35 pm What is the mark "under" the 9 then? It looked like a 7 to me. It confused me. I thought to myself, why would the mint stamp over a 2 year old coin. Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21616 Posts	Posted 11/23/2018 7:43 pm You thought right, the Mint didn't. After nearly 100 years, anything could have caused that mark. Report this Post to the Staff

Overdates are caused by using a die from a previous year to make one for the current year (over simplification). Report this Post to the Staff
