Vaslin Pillar of the Community United States 914 Posts	Posted 08/01/2007 1:28 pm Here's a very interesting mint mark! At least I know this one isn't Machine Doubling! The top half of the 'S' is filled. The bottom half is about half filed. The west of the top loop looks doubled. I've outlined where the extra material is showing up. Thoughts? Thanks!

Vaslin Pillar of the Community United States 914 Posts	Posted 08/02/2007 8:49 pm Thanks again Copper. This one is still a suspect to me. I don't think it's an S/S, but I'm going to keep this one out of the stack for a while. I always appeciate your sage advice! Report this Post to the Staff
coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 08/02/2007 9:36 pm The raised areas you have are (upper loop) normal for the punch, and (outside on the left) Machine Doubling. An S-mintmark RPM will almost always show the doubling in either the upper or lower serif, then other areas. The serif (outside edge) will have a split notch where the corners of the two punchings don't quite meet. Report this Post to the Staff
