1921 was my initial thought.

I am at 1926 D. Ty2020b convinced me based on ribbon position.

The circular damage marks in the center on the reverse look like coin counter/roller damage and render the coin to cull status.
A great candidate for a short Nic-a-Date treatment or a long soak in vinegar to restore the date.
Either way, treated or untreated, it is still only worth 10 cents.

westernsky-So your guess on the date is what?
Don't be mistaken folks, this was just a fun post to see what your guess is on the date of this coin

19-something. I think damage just randomly looks like a 2.

The straight back on the last digit, left ribbon style, and position of the last digit overlapping the left ribbon make it almost certainly 1926 D, I agree with Westernsky and JTCC.

Don't get me wrong...I think it is cool and all...but sometimes I wonder if folks maybe know a little TOO much about coins if they can figure out the date from a coin like this. Impressive.
