Overdate Nickel?

I'm not really sure on this one. Might be nothing, but I just thought I'd ask for a second opinion. Let me know what you guys think.

I didn't find it in my Cherry Picker's Guide but you have found something good. it looks like an overdate but a doubled die isn't completely out of the question.

My new microscope is slowing paying off. I can't imagine how long it would have taken me to get a picture of that using my old method with just my camera and loupe :l

Im very happy with it. Its just a kids microscope that has an attachment that u can mount a camera to it. Works great so far. I picked it up at a garage sale for $10 they sell for around $40 with shipping on ebay. I post the link latter so you guys can check it out if you want.

Here is the link to one like mine on ebay. All I used to take that picture above was the microscope, the camera support (see object above the microscope in the case), my 8mp digital camera, and an external lamp for some extra light.

1867. I thought I seen a little doubling on the 7, but it didn't come through when I took the photos. Probably just me seeing things. The 8 and the 6 you can't miss.
