<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KurtS, post: 2082472, member: 11786&quot;]Here&#039;s another overdate from Sweden. On these 1 Ore coins, the date area is very small--just 3mm across!&nbsp; It helps to study these under high magnification. In my case, I have my camera tethered to my PC--which makes it much easier on the eyes.</p><p><br /></p><p>At first glance, a lot is going on with the &quot;5&quot; in 1865. So I find it helps to do overlays of a possible underlying digit. In this case, the diagonal mark on the 5 is best explained by a 4. There is also a serif protruding from the base of the 5. Both details are explained by a 4, and in fact several 5/4 overdates from Sweden look similar to this one.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7451/16319113500_a69d915191_b.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
