This is not my series so take it easy on me! Is there a known overdate for the 1867 w/Rays nickel? I see none in the Cherrypickers Guide. Please see the pic below. Do you see a possible small date over a large date?? Thanks for your opinions!

    Perhaps an S2-3030 only far more dramatic or it could be a new variety. JMO- Very interesting coin. Hopefully Howard will see this and chime in, as he is the most qualified one to judge this coin. Nice pick up. Photos of complete obv and rev might be more informative.

    Sorry, but that is just what is commonly called machine doubling. After the strike, as the coin was being ejected from the press, the obverse die bumped up against the tops of the numbers on the struck coin and re-impressed some of the date design on the tops of those numbers. Fairly spectacular for machine doubling, but generally not worth a premium.

    That's an interesting coin, in a series that is loaded with varieties, die breaks, mechanical doubling, etc.

    Here is the 'discovery' coin for this minor variety, a repunched digit, along with extensive mechanical doubling:
