This is the second one I have seen. Thoughts?

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

Aspie_Rocco · March 15, 2019 5:34PM

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.
