It looks like shadowing below the date digits to me. Their new photo system is making variety attribution rather difficult. Russ provided an example of how bad their DCAM photos look a few days ago. I've already complained to them but I suspect it won't do much good.
Another problem that seems to continue is this one.

Not that it means doodly-squat, but the Heritage photo seems to have a pretty significant die crack through the date that the above example doesn't have. Heritage is probably not the same VAM as the above coin.

Pathetic.

The photo effects are fun to play with but no good for determining vam varities.
That is what I was hoping for also, but there are about 30 or so of these newly listed on Heritage so I new it was to good to be true.
