That's a very nice coin! Earlier major wheat errors like this are tough to find.

First,

Fantastic find!

I can see the VDB, and the vest appears to be redesigned below the bow tie. If so, that would make it ODV-008, which would mean the date is 1919.

Or 1918. That was the year the VDB was added to the obverse. (One of the two years)

Just checked and no listing. Hope it is the real deal?

That coin is crazy rare. I feel like all of these got found and stashed away by collectors a long time ago. An offcenter teens Lincoln has to be worth a couple hundred with a second strike in there too I wouldn't be surprised if it's worth $500+

Suggest you acquire it, unless the price is astronomical. Holder is a bit scuzzy, but cool coin.

@coop, 1918 and 1921 are ODV-007, with the VDB but without the reworked vest just below the tie. If that part of the vest hasn't been enhanced, the coin is 1918. If it has an enhanced design, it is 1919. I think I can make out the reworked vest on the OPs coin.
