JPinky New Member United States 25 Posts	Posted Today 16H 37M ago DREAM FIND! Since getting into this the 1996 FS-101 has been a personal obsession to find, above or equal to something that dwarfs it in value. I have rolls of 96s I've painstakingly collected CRH and was going through some tonight with a jewelers loupe. I find tons of DDDbld 96s and tend to move on quickly. Thank God I checked the date first! Had I seen the deteriorated U first, I could have moved on. As you can see, That date, in spite of the deterioration, is one of a kind. I'm down away I actually found one! Does anyone know if any other specimens have been found that are this late stage? If anyone would like it to photograph or catalogue for research purposes please lmk! Be happy to send it out before Grading it. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 112075 Posts	Posted Today 10H 19M ago Seems to be a very nice find I looked it up on VV but it does not seem to match it , but then the VV examples are a bit fuzzy. Is this where you got the attribute for it? Or another site? Can you please post up the link that you found? Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

JPinky New Member United States 25 Posts	Posted Today 8H 18M ago https://www.coppercoins.com/die/199...&from=search Here's the ref y'all!! lol re the VV listing. Def shot with a potato. On the date, The parallel stacked splitting on the ends of the 6 , notch on the upper right 1, then inside curl of the 9s, the front of the coat. The separation lines on the motto are really deteriorated but with the amount of 96s I've searched, including finding DDO-002, this is either DDO-001 or it's as of yet undiscovered sibling. Either way, stoked. Thanks for taking a look. Report this Post to the Staff
JPinky New Member United States 25 Posts	Posted Today 6H 57M ago The notches on the letters of TRUST are all lower left, so it must be clockwise. Here's Wexlers date and mine. I'll try to match the we let lighting tonight when I get home after my gig. Edited by JPinky Today 6H 54M ago Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 112075 Posts	Posted Today 6H 47M ago I don't think that you have it, it needs to be an exact match everywhere. Collecting since 1972.

JPinky New Member United States 25 Posts	Posted Today 5H 53M ago I hear you, Dearborn, and I completely agree. I'm certainly not convinced. My thinking, though, is that regardless of whether this is DDO-001, with outer device deterioration this pronounced, I don't think this die would exactly match with its earlier state. To educate myself and remove all doubt, tonight I'll make some overlays with better matched photos to the references and update back here. Report this Post to the Staff

tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6220 Posts	Posted Today 10M ago When looking for doubled dies, it is worth noting the shape inside the devices, as this is often the first "tell." Note the shape inside your 9's vs the DDO-001 9's. Report this Post to the Staff
