Hello Friends!   This is my first time posting. Fairly new to this but I'm pretty sure this is hopefully what it appears to be! My only hesitance is how faint/lighting specific the ear and neck/beard doubling is relative to the references. However under the correct lighting and angle, they pop. From what I've learned and how defined the N S die scratches behind the bust are the doubled features get to be lighter as the die stage progresses? Hopefully these photos from the iPhone are okay, I can upload scoped photos when I get home if requested. Thank you for any help! Oh also! Any opinions on if this is a slab worthy candidate? It is pretty dang clean but I know less about grading than anything else in this realm. The only varieties I've had in hand are what I've found CRH since I began 6 months ago. |

 To CCF! I'd like to see better pictures of the obverse before giving an opinion/answer. Errers and Varietys.

The hair looks doubled so seems right but agree the photos need improving. "Pride is yoked with callous behavior, as humility is with compassion."

Not seeing it now with the new photos. Looks like a stain around the ear and a lot of glare in the photos.

With the new photos, I'm not seeing any doubling on the ear or beard.
Errers and Varietys.

These photos are horrendous. No clue how to use this thing. Any suggestions on a good scope for posting photos? So this is what I was talking about with certain angles of light. one angle the beard shows but ear fades, then the ear becomes apparent and the beard doubling nearly disappears. there are abrasion(?) marks focused on the doubled beard area and ear (including photo). Is there any precedent for the Mint pulling a die after noticing it's doubled and reducing those features?    |

I didn't want to over do it with photos if that's frowned upon, but would you guys like close photos of Liberty and IGWT as well? they really appear to be dead on with 101

Good job on improving your photos but it is obvious now this is not FS-101.
