Found it!
Check it out notice the the 45 in the date has a that extra boldness. The second 4 also have this marking that ends here.

As of now there's insufficient record to prices for this variety.

CONECA descriptions:
DDO #1-Medium spread on date, designer's initials, with light spread on IN GOD WE TRUST and ERTY of LIBERTY
DDO #2-Medium spread on date
DDO #3-Strong extra thickness on date, designer's initials, IN GOD WE TRUST, and LIBERTY
DDO #4-Light spread on date and IN GOD WE TRUST

I dont see any doubling on LIBERTY at all.I am thinking it could be #4

Good call!
Thanks for the correction, wish I have coin in hand. LOL!

I was looking at the Wexler and Flynn book for reference, and Weinman initial appears it has minor spread. Wexler site don't have the images for DDO #4 for reference either, hoping one day they will update the second edition to Treasure hunting Mercury dimes.

But back to the 41S. I think it is a RPM.
