<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 362770, member: 66&quot;]If the coin had a mintmark and it was worn enough that you couldn&#039;t tell it had a mintmark it would almost certainly be worn enough that you couldn&#039;t see the overdate either. (Although there is a diagnostic die crack that remains visible even on dateless coins.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Although there is currently no known overdate on the 1918 Philadelphia nickel, that doesn&#039;t mean that it doesn&#039;t exist.&nbsp; And I will disagree slightly with Mark and say that an overdate that showed the top of a 7 would not have to show any of the upright.&nbsp; Yes the 18/7-D does show it but that doesn&#039;t mean that a second overdated die would have to.&nbsp; For example the 42/1 dime shows the 1 very strongly.&nbsp; The digit is there and complete.&nbsp; But on the 42/1-D the 1 shows only as a nub at the top and bottom of the 2.&nbsp; And the different 1914/3 nickels also show varying strengths of the underdigit.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
