I don't see it but the 1 in the date looks doubled.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

You have to zoom the pic to see it. I had to use their pic, because this one is currently in the mail.

This is 10x magnification. Still can't see the markers. Especially the ones inside the 3 don't appear to be there.

Right, the 3 looks completely normal. Not the overdate.

The coin does have an RPD 1 north. None of the recognized 1883/2 varieties have an RPD 1 north. Consequently, we have to say PCGS got it right that this is not an 1883/2. I might have expected PCGS to put "RPD Minor" on the label. That's what they do with most Shield nickel varieties not listed in CPG. But I guess they thought this one too minor to mention. |

The parts drawn over with black are metal, not shadows.
