[ATTACH] That is why I titled this thread ALPHA TESTING - new in-progress rendering of MMS-001 attached. But it still doesn't change that the...
This is the tracing of the "S" mintmark I used to emulate the mintmark in my drawings. Not an absolute perfect tracing - I know.[ATTACH]

Although the coin collecting community recognizes the 3 Legged Buffalo Nickel as a variety it really is not in the true sense of the word. It was...
The 3 legged Buffalo is struck by one specific die. The mint mark location will always be the same relative to all design devices on every...
