Damaged dates.
Oh, something hits the coin and pushes the metal aside.
Welcome to the forums @Beast72!
Took a hit on the date after Abe rolled out of the US Mint.
Where is the first one you seen?
A kid on you tube has the exact same coin
So it IS YouTube catching folks’ attention.

Not a genuine overdate. Looks like post mint damage.

OK, I was expecting the dime, which is a well-known overdate.
I concur with the others. That "2" was scraped into a "1", post mint.

It is damage, most likely from a coin rolling machine. Commonly seen on coins of this era (whereas modern rolling machine damage tends to be in the form of a circle around the entire coin.
The word "GOD" seems to have taken a hit, also.
P.S. - the YouTube coin is meaningless unless we can see pics. It won't change the fact that your coin is damaged, but at least people could make a comparison.
A month later and it is really is still looking like PMD.
Agree with @JBK about coin roller damage. Them counter/rollers are not very friendly to coins of any type.
