Kevboe11 Valued Member United States 73 Posts	Posted 07/20/2022 01:47 am Hello, I was looking for RPM's in some rolls I had and I noticed this guy. It absolutely looks like an upside down 2 is in place of the S in TRUST. I went through 2 more rolls of 54-S and none look like this one. There is no blatant rim damage or anything to make me suspect it was PMD. Have a look... Report this Post to the Staff

I suspect, given the pics posted, that were dealing with a mix of Die Deterioration and subtle post-strike damage. It could be that the die had become slightly damaged in the vicinity of the S. The word TRUST is showing evidence of die deterioration--just my opinion. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 99100 Posts	Posted 07/20/2022 09:09 am Just a slight hit on the top of the S, flattening out the upper curve a little. If it were an upside down 2, then it is also backwards too (mirrored - which it ain't BTW) Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.
