There are twelve different 1944-S Doubled Die Obverse varieties listed on the CONECA (Combined Organizations of Numismatic Error Collectors of...
Yeah, it's plenty fresh enough for acetone to make it like it never happened. And with the possible exception of the 1889, I see nothing on them...
I think you're seeing the result of a die so old, and so worn, that it no longer fits to tolerance in its' allotted space in the system. Collar...

Let us not forget Charles Barber's enmity, either. Roosevelt - and his proteges - would not have been popular with those having a vested interest...
Context: Brenner was Teddy Roosevelt's boy; he got the Lincoln job because of that. By August 1909, Taft was President and even though he'd been...
Why are you convinced that you'll never be able to do that as well as they do, and that your opinion is unsound? Are you sure that 1928 isn't...
