    I've never had a S/S, so I'm coming here hoping to find out if this is a true S/S or a messed with MM.

    What do you think?

    I see something to the right f the S, but that die crack and the wood grain are both very distracting. I'm afraid I can't tell with any certainty.

    Looks like the S took a hit. It doesn't match the known rpm's

    so is it the S/S or S/Horizontal S?

    Yes it is .
    Looks like a late die state too .
    That crack isn't visible til stage C .
    By stage D, the doubling is Very weak, for the secondary mintmark – VLDS ..
