CDS is double struck. The actual date is DEC 13. The horizontal bar at the top of the 3 is typical in the NYC datestamps. The serif on the left end of this bar from the lower strike makes the upper strike appear as a 5. However, the diagonal line connecting the horizontal bar to the lower loop (right side of the number) on the lower strike clearly shows this is a New York 3.
