    Tiny die chip at top of the S?

  • That could be it but I’m not sure what the stuff going on below the S is, maybe machine doubling.

    Looks like a die chip at the top of the S and machine doubling at the bottom. Cheers, RickO

    I think it's MDD with a nice die chip included.

    But both chip and doubling soooo tiny, that they are only of academic interest?

    They are minor, but are of interest.

    looks like it's up side down.

    That was my first thought as well.

    It is the correct MM-005 used in 1943 - and it looks as if the problem (chip) was on the die Punch. ??
