A fine looking lad he is... I will add....you know personally I rather go down to the park and watch kids like this play then to be given a pair of tickets on the 50 yard line to any NFL game.

 

YEAH, and Thank you.. So we don't forget the Girls, My eldest One has shaved her head for Cancer, a couple of times. I Have a lot to be thankful for.
Picked up a Wards Japan made, Magnifying glass with a weighted stand. I am close. but have a little more practice to go.

 

Edit: weird, it totally looked like something in the denticles. The last couple of photos are really nicely lit and make the coin look nice.

Congrats on the win!

 

What's going on to the NE of the 3? Is that a strike through or a detached lamination? I could not see that with the earlier images. I assume that if it's straight graded, it has to be some sort of a strike error. That may end up affecting the grade.

 

It looks like a strike through to me.

 

I would venture to say a strike through either metal fragment or grease.
What I've been seeing in the bottom loop of the 3 is what looks to be a repunched 3

 

I was in able to get the detail on the RPD. There is doubling at the bottom of the full date.
@Paddy54 is there an online reference I can use?

 

I found an online site, it looks very close to this one.

 

Not that I know of.....however if by chance you can get your hands on a copy of Shield &Liberty head nickels
By Gloria Peters & Cynthia Mohon
This reference is now out of print ,and when found does carry a premium . However maybe a local library could have a copy.
I do refer to this on both series as there's not many sites on these two series.
From your images and again somewhat hard to see I've narrowed it down to either an 19.1 ,19.2 or an 19.3. These are the number the author uses with some linked to other FS numbers however these 3 varieties are not. The 3 I've mentioned all have die cracks and all have date placement pretty close to yours. Without having the coin in hand I cannot make the call from the images .

 

And the grade?

Here is the grade. It looks under graded to me but @jtlee321 brought up the strike through, and they net graded it.

 

The grade makes no cents to me
