Snow-14. This one is sold, so I don't feel like I'm spamming by posting this. It is pretty tough to find. So tough, that I didn't have an image in my book. Now I do.

Notice the die rust on the reverse too.

    S-14. It was known and listed in the book, but without a picture.

    Cool I love MPD's, but only focus on the Seated Quarters for now.
    If I say something in the woods, and my wife isn't around. Am I still wrong?

    The doubling on the 7 and the base of the portrait is strike doubling.

    Thanks for posting these, Rick. I look for the Snow-1 all the time and now that I see the pictures of the S-14, I'm certain I've seen one or two before and passed them by. Give me a little time and I'll come up with another example for you (probably not a 65RD, though).

    why do you think it was a #1 die punch that caused that?

    is not the size of the "mark" in the neck too small to be a part of the #1 die punch?

    a small explanation would be awesome.

    Yes, I'm sure there are more out there. It's helpful to have a picture to compare.

    Why is it a 1 digit? We don't really know for sure, but it seems plausible, given the obvious S1. A lightly entered 1 wouldn't make a full sized impression. Perhaps the die was too hard to accept a deeply impressed 1.
