I cross posted this in the us coin grading session.

On the obverse does anyone, else see it

When the coin arrived today, under a 16x Loupe I saw it clearly

Is this just a remnant from poor polishing of the die

I do see a mis-placed date in the denticles but nothing obvious In the field. Can you post a close up of the denticles below 06 please? Cool coin!

I think he may be talking about the slight discoloration patterm midway between the 8 and the A that kind of looks like a 6.

Thanks for the feedback and I am replying with more images, I'll do a photoshop analysis that will pop pout anything below the surface. But for now, here is what I could do. Also, saw some action on the 0 in 1908.

The remnants of a 4 device?

Action in the zero of 1906?

The remnants of the initial one punched left of 1 in 1906?

A number in the denticles?

Doubling in B of Liberty or MD?

Looks like it could be snow-14 based off the RPD and MPD:

https://www.indianvarieties.com/cen...002-rpd-014/

This variety is also listed in the cherry picker's guide as FS-302. Nice find! A cool combo of a re-punched and mis-placed date!

If it takes that much magnification to see things, I'd rather just have a normal coin.

Superb looking variety IHC. That date punch was way off the second time out or maybe it was the first try?

I'm not convinced it's the S-14 though, I don't see that the S-14 has any Misplaced Digits. Might be worth contacting Rick Snow, let him know what you have, it could be a new variety, I'm unable to match it up with any of the 1906 Snow varieties exactly, there are a lot for 1906 too over 50 of them, so another one can't be ruled out either.

@westcoin if you take a look at the link I provided above, it shows that snow-14 has an MPD. I think it is a match but it would be tough to confirm without having a full image of the date area (Including the denticles) which is why I left it up to the OP to correctly attribute it.

Ah, I was looking at the Snow Reference book I have. Didn't see mention in that.

Remnants of a 4, I don't see it.
Action in the 0, yes looks like posibly a RPD, also looks like at the top of the 9 as well.
Remnants of initial 1 left of 1, I don't see it.
Number in the denticles, looks good.
Doubling of B, looks like it took a hit
