I found this and I am sure of what I am seeing. I see a obvious double over date the original date was 1 then if I hold it at certain angle I see a 2 then of course the date most visible is a 3. It has a matte satin finish on the obverse but seems to have an ordinary finish on the reverse. It has die markers around date of 1922 matter satin finish Peace Dollar Proof. I am starving for clarity and to know approximate value and where to sell it! I included pictures of it and regular 1923 side by side for comparison.

It look’s nothing like my other 43s the pictures don’t do it justice, I thought it was a 43S DDO so I tried matching it up for variety but no such luck then while trying to figure it out things got more confusing and I was looking at this first magnified photo and seen something coming out of Lincoln’s Head. Now things have gotten stranger and stranger. Well turns out the right where the wire come out Lincoln’s head if it didn’t come out it would have started to double because it appears to surround all of Lincoln all the way around under the surface until there Then it randomly shoots all the way down to the rime where I can see rust and appears to circle the rim. This coin is shiny like a proof you can see reflection in it not like a matte 43 type finish You are coin people look at the photos. No need in writing an autobiography. The short version I think I have stumbled into a prototype. The drains are to great to be a fake and why would anyone fake a 43 S and if so they wouldn’t use wire.
