Is this an actual 58/7 overdate? Cherrypick?

I think someone got a cherrypick on this one, but I could be mistaken. Is this the 58/7 overdate or is it just pmd that is causing the effect on the wing? Seems pretty high grade, looking like couple hundred bucks uptick if it is an overdate
Thoughts?

    I don't think so... I do not see the diagnostic triangular dot above the first 8. Also do not see the remnants of the '7' to the north east of the second eight. If you think the horizontal 'line' on the upper loop of the second 8 is part of a 7, that is not from an underlying 7, but looks like damage of some sort. I don't think they got any bargain.

    There are broken wing tips that are not the overdate.

    Not to my eye.
