To CCF! What are you seeing as an error? Please describe what you're seeing? If you can explain, then it will be a lot easier to accurately answer your questions.

The number 8 in the date looks like an infinity 8.

On the 8, that's Post Strike Damage ( PSD), meaning that it happened after it left the U.S. Mint. You can see the pushed over and flattened metal on the number 8. Since it's just a damaged coin, it's only worth face value.

I removed your other thread. Please stick to one thread for one coin, so discussions stay in one thread.

@Chanler, first welcome to CCF. Second, when I rotate, blow-up, and enhance the date, the picture becomes a little too pixelated to tell for sure, but I suspect that E&V was right about it being damage.
