It's hardly a problem at all unless someone's really picky about it. And with the numbers being that close, it's hardly an issue to even warrant devaluing it.

An official replacement top joint with * or ** stamped above the copied serial number is exactly the same thing and in some cases the bores don't even align correctly at the middle. In both cases, neither replacement joint is the original.

The main thing is both joints are for the same model instrument and it plays as well as you'd expect.
