I am not too familiar with older varieties, but I usually notice anomalies or oddities when looking at coins and this caught my attention, I did some research, made a comparison photo of the obverse under the date.

Let me know if I got it right on this one. Thanks in advance.

To me, it looks like neither of those two examples you gave at the bottom is your coin, am I right?
Your top coin pictures are too small to inspect and judge.

The bottom photo of the two comparison coins, the top coin is mine the bottom is from a website that specializes in Indian Head cents and older Colonial Coin varieties.

I actually got the F.S. 401 info from PCGS Coin Facts after digging around from the information I found on Indian varieties website. The white arrows pointing show rhe same pattern in the rim of the bottom of both obverse sides under the date.

That is why I am asking it is something or nothing. Is an F.S. 401 a designation for a double die obverse on Indian Head cents? If not what does the 401 designation mean. I know the meaning of FS 10-, 80- 90- 50- but 40- is new to me.
