If this was a D/S variety, there would have been hundreds of thousands minted and would have been discovered by now. It is just some environmental damage that looks like an S. No extra value there. (View Post)

Nice looking set, never seen that before. To answer your question, that is damage that occurred after the coin was struck. Looks like it has been dropped or the edge was struck to slightly flatten it… (View Post)
