can anyone tell me from the image in my first post if this is possibly an error, the missing hair below the "R"?

The so called missing hairs are normal for this obverse.
See my pic. of obverse above in an earlier reply. (cowlick:)
Out of the 5 AHV's that I have found all of them have had the same.
Also on 3 of them those lines were present on the obv. face area.
Not prints or damage but on the die itself. The variety is known as FS-401 by the way.

Something else I just thought of.
Might be worth checking out furthur.
On the Rev. i.e.: broken rays, I have seen
3 different types. One single break on one ray,
2 breaks on a single ray and breaks on two of the rays (one each) This is referring to the AHV only by the way.
Possibility that at least three different/altered dies were
used on this varieties reverse.
Food for thought.

Forgot, I was referring to the hair etc. near the R in Liberty
on my other reply. The OP had asked about it.

I do see the one hair missing now.
Most likely was polished away at some point.

the coin from my first post by the way came back from NGC this week.  |

Surprised again that NGC did not include the FS-401
designation. They have been messing up royally as of late.
Actually for over a year now.
They even screw up on the spelling on their slabs. Two coins now that I have by them. Jeesh !
Also your coin seems to be a cameo. I always used Anacs then started with NGC. Guess I'm back to Anacs at least with varieties. At least now your coin is contained and free from the outside elements. Once these things get cut out from mint sets and the cello they are tough to keep pristine.
Still always fun to find one though.

i actually had to send it back once because they did not designate the accent hair, even though I put it on the invoice. they did this to both of my accented submissions.

I believe that the TPG'ers charge extra for the attribution designation (like the FS-401).  Nice type coin!  Edited by oih82w8

Cameos are tough to tell, one of my NGC says no Cameo but it sure looks like it to me...

It might be missing on the reverse of the coin? That will disqualify it as a cameo.
