1950-S Washington, any S/S exist?

A '50-S crossed my desk so I checked for the S/D variety. I'm no Washington expert and have never seen a S/D variety but have read about it. image To me this looks like a S/S. Any opinions?

    ......looks mighty close to FS-25-19505-501 in the cherrypickers' guide. it is considered very wide repunching on a mintmark.image

  • It's hard to tell from the photo for sure if it's an RPM. It does look very similar to FS-501 though.
  • Thanks for the input.

    There is clearly raised metal above the mint mark, sure looks like the top of an S. I can't make out any detail at all inside the S so that lack of observation doesn't help one way or the other.

  • Yup, I have a hard time holding the magnifying glass steady while taking a photo! I'll have to tell Santa I want a dyno-lite. image
