Looks fishy to me

Look at the bottom stroke on the 2 in the year. It seems to plunge down to the right instead of going straight across like it should. The D mintmark also appears to be an altered 'S'.

I blew it up as bestI could without losing too much detail

I agree. Looks like a 1919-S to me

I think I see the VDB on Lincoln's shoulder. If so, it could very well be altered from a 1919.

The strangest things seem suddenly routine.
