Hi All,
I don't have the snow reference guide handy. Can anyone attribute this for me? I would be most appreciative!

    That appears to be mechanical/machine doubling.....I think the Snow varieties are true die varieties, but I could certainly be wrong.

    Machine doubling on the date. Not a die variety.

    I probably should have specified that I was aware it was machine doubling. I don't dabble much in copper, so I was unaware that the snow varieties were only true die varieties, but now I know! Thanks image
