An unknown error? That would be exciting!
Thanks for the link Frank!
Okay now I'm confused again lol
I thought that planned changes are varieties?
Gah!
So much to learn, so little time!
While it would be nice to view the coin up close and personal, I am leaning towards a new Doubled or Tripled Die Obverse Variety but could be wrong. It appears that there is definitely part of a 1918 Date struck in the lower part of the neck of the bust and possibly another Date Southeast of that which is partially hidden by the primary Date. You might want to consider sending the coin to an Coneca Variety Attributer for attribution.

Frank.. I'll gladly send any of these coins if you want to actually see them.. Just tell me where to send them to.
I see what you're seeing Frank, but it's possible it could be a clash remnant also. Wouldn't hurt to have it looked at.
Very desirable and sought after? I'm kinda dense.
In the world that I grew up in, a coin was only as good as its condition. This thing isn't much to look at. Die varieties add substantial value?
Hey, thanks Frank.
I can't tell you how much I appreciate you taking the time to help.
I took the coin to a friend of my pops. He looked at it for 3 seconds and fell out of his chair.
Quoting his response.
"I can't believe that Tom left that sitting in that folder for all those years"
I guess I should submit it now.
Edit.. When shipping a coin like this, what insurance amount should I get?
