<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KurtS, post: 2249767, member: 11786&quot;]Overdates from Norway aren&#039;t well known, probably because most collectors don&#039;t look for them. So I&#039;m left to find coins that have no documented markers--which makes it both challenging to find and interesting to research. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s the date area on a 10 Øre coin from 1937. What got my attention were raised portions of metal outside the expected shape for a &quot;3&quot;. Interestingly, they line up with the outline of a &quot;2&quot; used in 1927, which also happens to be the prior year this coin was struck--which for me pretty much clinches the attribution. The dark arrows point to some raised metal which might be the remnant of a prior 7 digit.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://c2.staticflickr.com/6/5541/11277670133_758209dcc3_b.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>The next is are a series of images of the Norway 1 Øre coin from 1937. That curled mark under the 3 isn&#039;t normally part of the digit--the top stroke of the 3 is straight on these coins. So it&#039;s most likely a 3/2. And since a 1929 was a high-mintage year, there may have been surplus dies which were re-used subsequent years.&nbsp; The black arrows are raised die lines from heavy polishing.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7373/15875715853_12b9ba89b2_b.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>There is also something under the last &quot;2&quot; that could be left after a digit polished away. </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://c2.staticflickr.com/6/5550/11934815413_e7e03fcb28_b.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
