When I look at it under a 10X lupe, it looks like there may be some numbers. When I go to a 12X or 16X
lupe, there doesn't seem to be any numbers. It is very hard to tell because the coin is very worn.

The numbers would be die numbers, making the value about $100. It should look like this, except it could be a different number.

Thanks for including the picture. I now know where to look & what to look for. Sadly there is no number under the date. As I said before, the coin is very worn but there is definately no number under the date.
