This just came out of the bucket. This one doesn't match any O/O I have found. I have never heard of a double struck reverse. The reed count is right on. And has no doubled reading, as far as weight I did not bother as it is somewhere in the EF range and would not be right from wear. It is silver.

As A side note how rare are the 1921 P type vams with the strong rusty reverse die's? I found 4 Unc's

I do not see this RPM in the VAM book, but definitely is an RPM. Pretty dramatic example!
I would have to say "no" to being double struck as this appears to be the only thing doubled.

I will post a few better photos after my other (putter De-frags) I think I found a few others that a second opinion would be nice. As far as this one I wish it was AU or better. All the 21's look like they had come from the same roll I will post one of them also later. I think they are all Hot 50 types

Just Machine Doubling. Check out ribbon bow and right wreath, all pushed in the same direction. I believe the original setting of MM to be high and set left.

Yep, It is TO LOUD TO BE A NEW FIND. Ray Charles would be able to see it. It's kind of neat looking as far as Machine Doubling go's.
