I'm not seeing the die marker on the reverse I agree, Dearborn. Maybe stage E, and given the amount of wear, the tiny size of the mark above the 'A', and the position of the other mark being directly on the rim, it is possible that both markers have been worn away. Quote:
S/S/S RPM do you see the third one on this coin? I thinks so, its very worn but looks close to Stage E, I tried to clean up the S a bit more.  |

That's definitely it, well done! =)
Wexler notes that by Stage C, the gouge above the A in America is worn or polished away.
I have not seen the SW punch gouge on anything but EDS specimens. This coin looks like a late stage. Look at the obverse, there has been heavy polishing of the bridge of her nose, almost certainly from a die clash (or just a swapped obverse die).

Sorry for hijacking's this thread, but what is the meaning of a FS number? I know I have asked about it before and probably searched for it online but I don't remember what it is or means.  Thanks! |

Fivaz-Stanton number. Fivaz and Stanton are the authors of the Cherrypicker's Guide to Rare Die Varieties. The CPG catalogs some of the rarest, strongest, and most interesting variety coins, which can in turn make them considerably more valuable than similar but ordinary coins.
