I can't see what year, image is too small, but there's not variety for a date digit being higher relief for any cent.

i'm guessing you mean "elevated", in that the "8" is not in line with the '194'..............??

A. coins with alot of goop/crud can cause optical illusions .......
B. the '8' was put in the "working hub" just a bit out of place for this die pair ......
:confused: :dunno :confused:
possibly ..... JMO
