halfamind Pillar of the Community United States 1501 Posts	Posted 12/17/2022 1:21 pm Can you show a pic of the full mint set? If it's an original U.S. Mint issue, it should have a face value of $1.33 with cents from P, D, and S. Also, it appears to be Machine Doubling, from what little bit I can see.

Dearborn Moderator United States 97685 Posts	Posted 12/18/2022 8:11 pm All I see is MD on this coin. Now why to you say that this 'S' minted coin is from the Philadelphia Mint? With the heavy scratches on the obverse by 'We Trust' makes me think that this coin has seen some time in circulation - or were the marks made by a coin rolling machine? Collecting since 1972.

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 12/19/2022 7:27 pm to the CCF Not seeing any doubling with these pictures. A 69 mint set as stated above should have a P D and an S in it. The damage happened while in the cello pack. Report this Post to the Staff
Jpsx New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 12/21/2022 01:49 am Here are some more pictures.I just now realized why the S is there but I'm still a little confused on the double die vs md Does md make it unique(is it still like a special coin that I should really hold on to) or does it only matter if it's double die? Thank you all for your help!! I so really appreciate it!!! Edited by Jpsx 12/21/2022 01:59 am Report this Post to the Staff
