I have not been able to cherry-pick one of these and actually had never seen one until the Fresno coin show this last weekend. I bought this from a dealer at a reasonable price. He had it labeled as DDR # FS11.1 but I don't know if that is right. Heritage lists one example as Breen-5215 and another as FS-801; anyone know which designation is most correct?

Anyway, it is a nice coin with really outstanding doubling on E PLURIBUS UNUM. It's not easy to see with the naked eye but is impressive with magnification.

Just thought I'd share!

FS-011.1 is a first generation Cherrypicker reference, since replaced by the current nomenclature system so it is now listed as FS-50-1946-801.
