The Silver Searcher Pillar of the Community United States 1388 Posts	Posted 05/30/2024 2:14 pm Hello all, I have a chance to buy the below coin, which the seller says is a 1918/7 - D overdate. It's in a PCI slab, so no way of searching the cert number. This is the best image I can get of the date, close up. Does it look like the real deal to you all? Report this Post to the Staff

westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7618 Posts	Posted 05/30/2024 3:35 pm Judging by the appearance of the date area it is a genuine 18/17 in AG to G condition. The half moon top loop of the "8" in the date is one of the identifiers. If the grade is close to what I think it is and If the price is right I could care less what holder the coin resides in. Nice find! Edited by westernsky 05/30/2024 3:40 pm Report this Post to the Staff

The Silver Searcher Pillar of the Community United States 1388 Posts	Posted 05/31/2024 10:05 am Thanks for the help and thoughts everyone! This was at a local auction, final price was ~$350 with buyer's premium. It did not go home with me, unfortunately, that price was too much for me to risk on a coin I'm not suoer familiar with. But if it is real, then someone got a bit of a deal so I'm sure they're happy. On to the next one! Report this Post to the Staff
