1980 P Washington 25C......??

It appears the 'I' was struck over the gouge. Any enlightenment on this?

(As for the optics.....single Dad of two toddlers with no help. Apologies. I have to save to upgrade. Bear with me.)

I am very grateful for the insight and encouragement.

It looks like the " I "was actually moved when the gouge occurred.
It isn't really hard to move the design elements on a coin.

Try it on a pocket cent. Take a straight edge screwdriver and place it next
to a number in the date and just try to push it. You will be surprised how easy
the metal moves.
Look at this cool Lincoln I found with moved metal.

I know the pic is blurry, but it is post mint damage and not an error.

That's how I made a 1914 D when I was about 11.
