Titles are Important! * I have a 16 - S that's actually an S/S... how rare (or not) is that?

rynegold Valued Member United States 249 Posts	Posted 09/09/2017 4:20 pm What's "md"? Here's some more shots of the mm... you can clearly see from the left hand angle, that is an s/s.

You can also see that the "second" S is not an exact copy of the first S, which is an absolute necessity for true die doubling. This is the characteristic shelf-like appearance of Strike Doubling, flat and not contoured like the actual mint mark. Report this Post to the Staff
