What does the mint mark look like on a 46 S/S/S/S. Also I understand this is also a double die coin. Where is the doubling? Possibly on the left side of the torch?
My weak eyes see something but I am not sure what it is even with 15 power magnification.
EDIT to Add: Nick has looked at the coin also and confirms that it is a FS-502 RPM and DDR. LDS in his opinion which I certainly trust. Guess PCGS will get somemore of my money.
Thanks Much.

The doubled die is most evident on "AMERICA", the right branch, the leaves, "UNUM", and "DIME". The RPM is quadrupled, with the remnants of the three secondary "S" mintmarks north of the primary.

I forgot how to post it on the page, so its down below.
There are 2 common varieties for this date. The S/S/S/S is like Dan's pic and shows a repunched S
north of the primary S with slight doubling on America. The second one has what looks more like
a die chip protruding from the bottom loop of the primary S with doubling most notable on the torch
flam tips.
Hope this helps.

The mint mark is different than the type Dan posted. Here is a picture and maybe one of you can tell what this is. If not I would like to send the coin to someone that has better eyes than me for their opinion.
One last thing. If it is a S/S/S/S is it worth getting slabbed? The coin is 65 I would think with a shot at a point higher.
Thanks Again.

I am trying to discern if this is the FS-501 or the FS-503 as listed in Cherrypickers as both have the upper portion of mintmark above the "S".
If there is doubling on the "NUM" (most notable on the "M") then it would be the FS-501 and worth slabing based on Cherrypickers' prices MS65=$100.00 and MS66=150.00.
The FS-503 is MS65=$35.00 and MS66=$50.00.

Maybe a 503, and that one would be the more valuable of the 3 because none have been slabbed.
Ken, If you want send me the coin and I'll let you know if it's one of the 3 possible RPM's.

<< <i>Can you get an image of "NUM" and the right leaves? Also, scan the mintmark from a different angle to alter the light source please.

If 501 has the doubling to the right on the leaves I do not think this is the one. I see no doubling at all to the right. It appears to have light doubling on the left side and up on the torch. The tone is realing goofing up the pictures. Here is another one for what its worth.
Ken
Don't want you to think I'm positive about this, so send it to Nick to be sure.
And don't forget to post it on here when you find out, don't leave us hanging, thats a $40.00 fine from the Roosie Police..
Send it to Nick just to be sure.
Also, did not realize that the 503 is currently not slabbed.
Nice find there.
S
and your last pic match's perfectly. Most of this variety are also FB. The 502 is the most common of the 3 and
not worth sending in below a MS64 grade.
Nick
I have your address from our deal the other day. Probably will get it into the mail thursday. The PO will be hard to hit before then.
Thanks Much Guys.
