captaincoffee Pillar of the Community United States 600 Posts	Posted 01/28/2021 8:54 pm Sorry...just a mark. Assuming you are talking SMS, you need a remarkably full strike on all details, a sharp wire rim around both sides, heavy die-finishing lines from (O)F to A(MERICA) and (HAL)F to D(OLLAR). Finally, you need the "dangling 4" or teardrop die marker on the obverse as seen here: Report this Post to the Staff

Stephen-P Valued Member Japan 294 Posts	Posted 01/31/2021 09:24 am The lump on yours is too small. And from your pictures, I don't see any added thickness on the 4 or TRUST from doubling. The SMS is a DDO and you can see notching especially well on the W of WE. Report this Post to the Staff
Stephen-P Valued Member Japan 294 Posts	Posted 01/31/2021 09:51 am If you're really searching for it, it's probably best to know that you won't need any die-markers to identify it. It is a stunning piece with silky details sharper than a proof, and you will know exactly what you have when holding it in your hand. The reason it bids so high on auction is because of this and not from its die-markers. Report this Post to the Staff
