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.

A little die rust maybe?
We currently believe the "bold S" is die rust. For those of you who read this post, do you concur? thanks, [email protected]

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