Given some of the minor dies that are in the CherryPickers' Guide, I am kind of surprised this one didn't make it. Quite strong extra thickness going on. This was an assisted cherrypick.

You're expanding your collection/finds beyond cents - I enjoy seeing these.

Nice find. I always like seeing MS varieties.

A question comes to mind, does anyone know how this one ended up with an FS # if it didn't make it into the Cherry Pickers Guide?

Thanks! And I did not know this had an FS number, but it does seem that when a variety is removed from the Guide they don't seem to mention it in the book anymore so it is hard to learn which varieties used to have numbers. Was this one previously listed but removed? And yeah, been picking more than just cents and learning more of the varieties on some other denominations, but my primary collection and focus remains cents. It just seems worthwhile to pick up some other things along the way. I am fortunate in this as some friends have been super helpful along the way at finding some of the picks for me, like this one.

Yes, it is a fairly old die. A lot of what looks like surface chatter in the images is just flow lines.

This it is hard to find and spot. Also to have in MS.

Somebody ask about FS. FS come from Favas and Stanton denominations. The PCGS recognize only FS. Why? I have no Idea. Maybe if I ask Favas to do an effort at 96 years to come to explain here.

Also this coin if I do not mixt, was mention also by Breen.

I do not have and probably never find. Very nice acquisition Trop.
