Got a 1947-S double strike. The 4 is clearly doubled and the 7, is only the top part. There is a lot of pitting on the coin, which I read is common for that year.

Cool. Never found that variety :thumbup:
From hence ye beauties undeceived, know one false step is ne'er retrieved
and be with caution bold.
Not all that tempts your wandering eyes and heedless hearts is lawful prize,
nor all that glistens gold.
- Thomas Gray, 1747
