<p>[QUOTE=&quot;nightowl, post: 1719111, member: 18614&quot;]There&#039;s something going on with the last digit of this 1917 merc I got in this morning&#039;s mail from an eBay seller in Estonia. I thought when I looked at the seller&#039;s picture that there was something there .... but I thought that when magnified, the 7 looked more like an 8.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s a link to the listing I bought the coin from....</p><p><a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/400492896892?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&amp;_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/400492896892?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&amp;_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/itm/400492896892?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&amp;_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The coin arrived this morning, like I said .... and here&#039;s the picture I took of it. I tried to take it so that the strength of the 7 was dominant, and was surprised to have captured this image. I know what it looks like to me ... but what does this look like to you learned numismatists? To me, it looks &quot;for all the world&quot; like a 1917/6 overdate .... but none have ever been seen. If that&#039;s not what it is ... then how did this come to be?</p><p><br /></p><p>Nightowl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
