Yes, even if it's a new RPD the value added is minimal if any. If I look at the PCGS price guide (don't know if the app you're using has...
Definitely not S5-3009. S5-3009 has die cracks that are mutually incompatible with the coin in question. Just examine the cracks around the...
If it's neither incuse nor raised, then it's not on the die. It would be some other strange form of transfer.
Certainly an odd one. Is the phantom date raised or incuse? Or neither?
Are there any apparent marks from devices other than from the date? For example, from the ball above the date?
I am Howard Spindel, shield nickel expert. Very interested in the "ghost image" SN. If you need any help figuring this out, please contact me....

@davidh: You do realize you took a copyrighted photo to illustrate your point? Minimally, you could have provided a credit. Or linked to the...

There is a problem here. Knowing nothing about early copper, I'm happy to take @Marshall's word for it that he is accurately describing how early...
The idea that the difference between contemporary and modern can be determined by the intended use of the piece (deceive general public or deceive...
States vs Stages: If I'm reading you (@Marshall) correctly, it sounds like perhaps you are reversing the meanings that I proposed. Perhaps that's...
There is no question in my mind that the oddity at the tip of the 5 is post-strike damage from being struck by another object. The proof of...
IMO, that's too subjective a definition. "Whatever time period we wish to consider" leaves it up to the reader to pick the time frame. The time...
That's not bad!
The confusion arises because the dictionary definition is as listed in the previous post, but also has another meaning of "present day." Within a...
Separate names with a comma.
