Here is a so-called 1918/7-d being offered for sale on eBay. Why do people do this? Are they actually this dumb?
opening bid is 9.99

    If the marker counted it would be the variety for sure. :)

    Though most have probably seen this, here is a photo of a lower grade overdate that shows the 8 over 7 clearly.
    If you draw a straight line between the centers of the upper and lower circles inside the 8 you get a straight line which
    is strongly tilted to the left, on a non-overdate coin this line is almost straight up and down -- almost perpendicular.

    At least it looks like an authentic 1918. I remember not too far back someone posted an absolutely comical fake 18/7-D/

    LOL - why draw on the photo when they could draw directly on the coin, instead? :D

    You know, just to make sure the buyer wouldn't miss the 7...
