I recently was able to find a very nice example of the FS-101 Double Die Obverse.

I see it, right below the 2 and above the first 9 it's most prominent. Nice example!

The spread isn't wide, but this is it. The tail of the 9 is split and it can be seen in the 192. Also, notice the die clash in front on the eyes. Of all the examples I have found the clash has been there. I do know there are some without the clashed dies, but I have yet to see one.

Nice pick up Tony.

This is one that have lesser interest since the spread isn't as dramatic, but the die clash is interesting.

I got the grade back on this one from PCGS. They gave this FS-101 DDO a grade of AU58.

Thanks, CCTrader, the coin fits nicely into my complete variety set (#1 no band complete variety set on PCGS' registry). :)
