Yea, it was either a “fresh drop” (not long after minting), or it’s a modern knockoff using something like portrait lithography. That thing is probably going to be analyzed 9 ways to Sunday if it sees the open market.

I eyeball found a 1901 double eagle but it’d suffered a lot of post drop damage. It was a semi key date to, Philly mint, which unusually only made under 200K of them that year while San Francisco made over 2 million IIRC.

In my Skan-o-Matic a Lincoln wheat cent loaded reverse side up with VDB very clearly visible. When my heart restarted I worked the slide to flip it obverse up.

No “S” mint mark.

*sigh*
