Found this coin years ago, been waiting to see another, searching online and help web sites, with no luck. As far as I can tell it should not exist. Could use any information about it.

Unfortunately I cannot zoom on the pictures. This appears to be post mint damage and pareidolia. We see this on coins every once in awhile here.

I have a 79 which I found today with the same things looks like D over S and the date looks like dbling but could be machine dbling but up and left. I'll get around to upload a few pics here in the next few days

Here is a way to find immediate answers when finding something you suspect is a doubled die or RPM:
Please click the following link:

Immediate Answers - How to find your Doubled Die or RPM online

Note:
If you do not find your coin listed using this easy method, then you most likely have a damaged coin or other issues like (non collectable) machine doubling, die deterioration doubling, etc. (look these up at error-ref.com)
