JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21631 Posts	Posted 05/31/2025 07:20 am Interesting but my only question is if it is an upside down S variety, how come it hasn't been hasn't been discovered in the last 78 years. There would have to have been hundreds of thousands struck from that die. Report this Post to the Staff
Littlemg2 Pillar of the Community United States 552 Posts	Posted 05/31/2025 11:19 am Oh I agree and all I did was take pics to ask it it looked funny and then Loose the coin in my office somewhere hahaha Report this Post to the Staff
Littlemg2 Pillar of the Community United States 552 Posts	Posted 05/31/2025 2:23 pm YAY!!! I Have found it. Well you asked for more and better pics!!! Quote: I think there is a strong possibility that it is a smooshed and worn trumpet tail S. That might be a little ball on the bottom termination, consistent with a trumpet tail. I tried to get the best close ups to verify if your thinking was accurate as it could be a possiblility. Now my opinion I do not see a smooshed down tail. But really what do I know Enjoy Report this Post to the Staff
