hello

i have a sixpence dated 1758 but have heard there is an overdate for that year. i have added a small photo does anyone know if this is one as the 8 does look a little suspicous from the rest of the numbers

thanks

Reviving an old thread..... As the title, is the overdate obvious under magnification? I just picked up another 1758 described as a 1758/7 but would welcome any tips on spotting the overdate or should it be blatantly obvious?

If you can't see it, then it isn't. The last one I saw was obvious, but don't have a picture.

ESC has a picture which isn't obviously 8/7. You should be able to see the ends of the lines, the angle or a straight line crossing through the 8 to be certain.
