in Q & A Forum

Take a look at these images. Trying to determine a theory as to why a "bold S" exists on the second S in STATES as shown by the image.

We have our theories, but would like some un-biased thoughts from others. Thank you in advance for any thoughts you can share on the matter... basically reasons as to why this might exist as such.

    We currently believe the "bold S" is die rust. For those of you who read this post, do you concur? thanks, varieties@barbercoins.org

    I agree, die rust. But that would make it die rust and not a Bold S designation of course.
