    HiYA @TyLand and welcome to CoinTalk!

    I guess the first thing would be to say that your coin was struck and not printed.

    I think you are referring to the date at the bottom of the front (obverse) side of your coin. I can not really tell what is going on there. It might be damage that occurred after the coin left the mint or it may be something that occurred during the minting process. We have lots of experts here on CoinTalk who will be able to tell you more about your coin. I am not one of those....yet!

    You might want to take another photograph of your coin and see if you can get it so it is not shot at an angle. Also, after you shoot your coin, crop out all the extraneous space around the coin before posting it here. That will allow us to see it closer. And, finally, please post a photograph made the same way of the reverse side of your coin.

    Thanks!

    Thank you ! I feel like I can see and over print or under print of the1987 but starting at the 8 also there is an imprint of another s up above and to the right of the other mint location stamp

    Welcome to Coin Talk. If you are referring to doubling on the date and/or the mintmark this can be caused by machine doubling or die deterioration doubling. Since you are new I'd suggest you google in the two terms to find out what they mean because I can't explain it.
