I feel like there's something going on with the date, but it doesn't seem to align exactly with any of the varieties on PCGS. Am I just imagining things?

The photos are not perfectly focused. I'll try and get better photos of the date when I have time during daylight hours now that days are finally getting longer here.

Thanks in advance,
Tim

Coin looks fake to me...all the details look soft and mussy to me. For some reason the obverse just felt odd to me as soon as I viewed it. Also the tail for the 4 is that correct?

Waiting for someone with more knowledge on the series comes along.

Might be a 9 over 6. Need sharp, in focus photos.

OK, let's see if this helps. Honestly, the date doesn't look like any of the ones on PCGS. It seems like there's a split in the base of the one, and a vague secondary bit off the top of the upper serif on it. The eight has some kind of secondary image, and I don't know what's happening with the nine. That bit to the right of it might just be PMD, but it seems like there's something inside the loop at the top of the nine.

The photo is still not crystal clear, but I think I need to hook the camera up to a larger screen so I can manually focus properly.

Try this: NGC 1849/1--9 VP-002

https://www.ngccoin.com/variety-plu...1873/820218/

Date position looks correct... I wish NGC has full photos of the coin to match that die crack, but they often don't.

ETA: picture for Breen-3050
