This is not listed in Cherrypickers. Is this a known overdate or is it nothing?
The reverse also shows a second legend under STATES
And yes I see the scratch

I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom I provide, then question the manner in which I provide it. I prefer you said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand to post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to!

Not really looking for much these days but if I were, it might be a toner.

<< <i>Possibly a false die double strike. >>
Possible...that 8 looks pretty good compared to the original though...
Edit to add:
I've seen a few trade dollars that were not graded because of being double struck with counterfeit dies...Is there a way to tell that you could explain here?
This could very well be a double struck piece as has also previously been mentioned.
Nevertheless, better pics are a must, but overall I'm intrigued
<< <i>IMHO the "I" in PLURIBUS appears centered in relation to the "T" in the photo provided where as in the EUSD the "I" is to the left of the "T". What can I say that is what I see when looking at the photo presented. If I am wrong I will take my punishment whatever that may be.
Either way it is a cool dime. >>
Tilt your head to the left and look at the first set of pictures the OP provided.
It needs to be certified.
<< <i>
<< <i>suspicious that the only feature seen doubled is the 18, no doubled stars, no profile doubling just the 18 and that "flattening" from the 4:00 to 7:00 >>
I have a number of double struck bust dimes and all are d/s in multiple places the only question is if you can see it due to its grade. This being so far off one would think you would see elements of the double strike in the fields and on the bust but we don't see it. I do however see multiple areas of damage. >>
The ghost date is northwest of the regular date. This would indicate that the coin was not in the collar when it was struck. If the ghost date were in the same circular arc as the regular date I could see this as a legitimate double strike with the piece perfectly round, but it isn't.
I wanted to add some better pics of the Obverse and the reverse.
Thanks

Actually, after looking more closely, I am certain that it is not a genuine error. The date has been flattened. It is a JR-5, but the orientation and shape has been distorted. My guess is that this is a manufactured double strike, and the end result is just a damaged Bust dime. The key giveaway is the flattened "1" in 1835.
