CDS date is MAR 20, double struck, which makes the 20 appear as 30. Remember, this is a NYC cancel, where the 3 has a horizontal bar at the top and a short, thin diagonal line at the upper right connecting the top bar to the lower loop, often mistaken as a 5. In this datestamp, the top is rounded and the bottom is flat, clearly indicating a 2.
