BmTrif6186 Valued Member 71 Posts	Posted 01/01/2018 12:25 pm Just looking at the "S" MM details, the top half of "S" is thin looking while bottom half is clearly much thicker... I've heard of there being different varieties of the "S" MM used in same year(s) and wondering if this an example of that and if there's a list or something I can reference to know what MM varieties to look for on specific year(s) I would appreciate a lead as to where I can find it to store for my records! * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff
