Can you show us a shot of the reverse, showing the mintmark placement? I believe it should tilt to the left and almost touch the 'E' in 'FIVE'. Also, can you show the whole obverse? There's a die crack that's also a diagnostic.

This is a restored date coin so you are not going to get all the detail. Another diagnostic is that the initial has an appearance of a P instead of an F.
Over the last 10 years I have purchased 5 of these restored overdates. I currently still have 2 and sold the other 3.
It is the overdate. Shows the die crack by where his ear should be. TD

No, just the date area. The pics look washed out because I had way too much light. I did find another one that someone had carved up with a knife, sold that one for $76.00. My MIL didn't want either one and the first find sold for 649.99

I restored the date, don't beat up on me too bad!!!
you can still see the type 1 - reverse on mound, which is rather cool - especially finding the Denver and San Francisco
I am not convinced you have an 1918/7-D overdate there
the bottom loop should have more on the left
the top should have a longer straight section

I have seen them sell on eBay in the $100 range, raw
not sure if a genuine slab would increase value enough for cost of getting it slabbed

<< <i>It is not the overdate. >>
Based upon what? The 7 is there, the die crack is present, the mint mark has the correct placement.
with the acid area?
