pound_foolish Valued Member United States 407 Posts	Posted 06/02/2025 08:16 am If I might weigh in here briefly - the PCGS examples referenced previously DO show the doubled eyelid very clearly. It's the single most identifying feature of the FS-101 variety; both upper and lower lids are prominently doubled to the point that you really don't need a scope to see them. I have found a couple searching LWC and found one at a coin show many years ago after my kids got their cups filled with circulated LWC as a complimentary gift. Linked here: https://goccf.com/t/353349&SearchTerms=1942,FS-101 Yes, there is doubling on the date as well but not nearly as wide a spread as the eyelids, visible on some circulated examples. Hopefully this helps clarify. Report this Post to the Staff
rmpsrpms Pillar of the Community United States 4038 Posts	Posted 06/02/2025 11:13 am Yes indeed. Apparently the doubled-eyelid type is not well understood. See the images I posted above for further clarity on what eyelid doubling looks like, though keep in mind this is one of the clearest and most obvious examples of the type. Interested folks should check out the other 42 DDOs on VV as well as other dates as many examples are much more subtle. I believe Wexler's site has a good explanation of how the eyelid doubling was created during the hubbing process.
