Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6493 Posts	Posted 08/12/2024 3:17 pm There seems to be some odd shaping on the left side of the S, both the curve and tail termination. Is it a weak RPM, some kind of deterioration or other distortion, or nothing? Just to be clear, I am not talking about the deterioration or polishing halo around the mint mark. There is metal protruding upwards on the left outer curve, and the tail seems to have an odd shape instead of an unbroken cap. Complicating things, there seems to be a sizable lamination that extends from the dome right down through the right building side and into the area of the mint mark. Report this Post to the Staff
