Nice find. Not worth grading unless you have an MS65 or better.

Great find! Strong doubling on the 1 and 9 too.


Note that, as Tanman mentioned, this is FS-101. When you find a variety that has a FS number you know you've found something significant.

So does that mean worth being graded?

It won't be worth it in terms of return on investment but it might be worth it to have it in a holder with the attribution number as reminder of a great find. Fun to show friends or pass it down to your kids etc.

Congrats on finding a very nice variety. One I'm always looking for.
If it's not too late, you should edit the title to include the Denver MM

How long have you been looking littlemg2? I'm probably about to get a lil jelly, since it took me what seemed like a decade before finding one

CCB420 Id say for about 3 yrs now lol. But worth every second. This is the best coin group I have been part of. Best part is I really thought I only had a "eyelid" Keep at it and next thing you know you have one.

Here Is my Question. How is the 1 n 9 not considered MD? As in my eyes I see a NE slide? this is just for learning purposes and trying to understand why some are and other are not.

Is it due to the fact it has been graded and considered by PGCS?

While it sort of looks like MD it is not "flat and shelf like" also MD would affect all of the date and MM, not just two digits like this.

PCGS has nothing to do with it. Attributers first examine and list these then the TPG's chose to use those attribution numbers.
