I can see how this coin might raise concerns, but there could be plausible explanations as well.
The lack of detail on the eagle's beak, left wing, and nearby legends might be due to a filled die or strike.
Although, strike problems are more often in the tail, so I'm betting on a dirty die. That might explain the mushy denticles too.
The line through the date appears to be a die break, and that's a plausible location for one. Looks like a die on its way out.
Both 8/7 overdates were the LL variety, so maybe someone liked the die problems on this one?
