<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KurtS, post: 2249672, member: 11786&quot;]Thanks to a friend, I&#039;ve added this nice overdate to my collection. It&#039;s a strong overdate--easily visible despite some wear and corrosion:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/701/22060314595_e5dffdce9e_k.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>The markers match those on my reference photo:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://c2.staticflickr.com/4/3832/11259900495_30d341a95c_b.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>While this overdate is often listed as 1918/6, it is actually a 1918/16--since the last two digits were repunched. By this time, dies used at the Kongsberg mint had the first two digits on the hub. Here, it&#039;s straightforward to assume that both digits were part of a single punch used to update the die.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks again Numismat! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
