RedRaider Pillar of the Community United States 1021 Posts	Posted 01/09/2016 2:45 pm Yes, this was a defective digit punch....I believe Rick Snow designated the variety as S-4. I dont have my attribution guide handy, so cant confirm right now. This variety is quite common, but the reverse lamination is pretty cool. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 01/09/2016 4:53 pm Correct. I think it is specifically S-4b, here with a slightlhy truncated bust tip due to some extraneous factor. Report this Post to the Staff
