Larry, this is the F-103c die marriage, noted for the rusted obverse die, 2.3. So, this was a rusted die and I do mean rusted. One good clue, in...

I vote for S.
A lower-grade raw CC with a nice die crack through the lower portion of the date. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Maybe one last post on the use of acetone: I've been using it in my home machine shop for over 30 years, primarily as a degreaser for machined...
