John1,
Appreciate the response, and while the "ghosting" at the bottom of the mm supports your assertion, just for the sake of argument let's examine the following photos. Pic 1 is of an example of DDD taken from Google. Notice how the "doubling" is lower than the rest of the device. Pic two is of the "S" mm on my Peso. Pic 3 is a screenshot of a certified S/S/S Peso from PCGS CoinFacts. Notice how both the doubled serifs at the bottom of both MMs as well as the "triple horns" at the top are not only level, they are in exactly the same location on the MMs. Again, while the "ghosting" is likely caused by ejection/deteriorated die, it seems a stretch to explain the matchup of the identifying features of the triple S, but after 38 years of collecting, I am well aware of the tendency to engage in wishful thinking, so if I'm incorrect, so be it.

I only looked at about 500 coins over the past year to find this one, LOL. Would've been nice if it had been S/S. Then I would've had a "full house".
