Franklin Half Collectors – Are there 1948’s with “ghost” initials?

RWB

Final master hubs for the Franklin halves had two sets of designers initials – JRS. One set was as they appear on normal coins, the other set was to the right of those and in slightly smaller letters.

According to documents, the right-most set were removed from the master hub by acting engraver Gilroy Roberts. Does anyone have a 1948 half that shows traces of the other set of initials? (I’ve examined several under 45x and see nothing.)

Ditto, I just looked at rolls of both P and D, no trace of anything to the right of the initials, with 40X.

One bump to see if anyone else has a "UFC" sighting.

I don't have my loupe handy right now but I will check them a bit later. It would be pretty neat to find them.

Have these been documented or is this a conclusion from your research?
