b2v New Member United States 29 Posts	Posted 05/15/2026 03:16 am From all 5 sites I am aware of imaging the coin, some with die markers and stages, I can't seem to match any of the DDO's with an eye spread like this. Though of the photo's I see, I can't really say I see much doubling in the eye's that are documented. There is no good angle to view Liberty for this specific coin and I understand the acrylic it is set in could be creating the optical illusion of the doubled eyes but the 2nd pic is a different coin in the block with the same eyes and the view I can get of Liberty may show doubling but giving the acrylic and viewing angles, I am spinning wheels trying to make a determination, I am wondering if these eyes are consistent with anyone having viewed the coin in person or other insight about this you might have. I just do not want to undertake dissolving the block down unless there is a good chance it is an FS-101. Thank you! Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73579 Posts	Posted 05/15/2026 07:15 am Definitely not FS-101. The DDO would've been very noticeable. It would pop out right at you, if it was. http://varietyvista.com/01b%20LC%20...1PDDO001.htm The doubled profile you're seeing is just Machine Doubling I think. Errers and Varietys.

b2v New Member United States 29 Posts	Posted 05/15/2026 07:44 am I spent a fair amount of time on the page(s) along with Wexler, Copper, NGC, PCGS, the 5 I am aware of and though eyes are photographed particularly with VV, no doubling jumps out at me with eyes there but they do with a couple coins in the acrylic. Not machine I am seeing unless the acrylic is playing with my eyes/pic. Report this Post to the Staff

If you have a narrow beam flashlight shine it on the coin then move it around and see if the image changes with relation to the light beam position. Report this Post to the Staff
