CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 01/02/2021 8:13 pm As an avid Washington collector, this variety has been high on my most wanted list for a while. After Christmas, I finally decided to pull the trigger on this one I've been eyeballing on ebay. It came in looking nicer than expected! It is a low grade, but the doubling is still very strong and prominent. It is the big brother to the 1941 FS-801, much stronger and with a wider spread, especially on the leaves and the arrows. It should, in my opinion, be considered a major variety. Thanks for taking a look! Take a look at a high grade example, it's a monster: https://images.PCGS.com/CoinFacts/0...3112_Max.jpg -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Edited by CoinHunter27 01/02/2021 9:50 pm Report this Post to the Staff

sheldius Pillar of the Community United States 1204 Posts	Posted 01/03/2021 12:34 am Glad you got a variety you wanted. Neat coin. May have to go back to my junk silver pile yet again. Not sure I would have seen that on a worn example. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 01/03/2021 12:37 am Thanks Sheldius! The beak portion is the strongest point of doubling. I'd say that and the arrows are the easiest pickup point. You can even see it with the naked eye! Good luck hunting! -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Report this Post to the Staff
stoneman227 Pillar of the Community United States 2376 Posts	Posted 01/03/2021 08:52 am Excellent acquisition! Congrats! I'm with you , Washington's were something I really enjoyed picking when I went to shows. I even got one discovery coin under my belt from that time , 1948-DDO-007 http://www.varietyvista.com/09b WQ Vol 2/DDO Detail Pages/1948PDDO007.htm Edited by stoneman227 01/03/2021 08:54 am Report this Post to the Staff
