Need help ID'ing this 1868 5C rev 1867. I am using Cherry Pickers Guide for visuals but it doesn't have the reverses. I think I have narrowed it down to two possibilities:
1) FS303 (but mine doesn't have the die crack through the date)
2) FS309 (The 1 in the date doesn't seem to match)
Here are pics:

If more pics are necessary please let me know.
Thanks

Looks like a RPD on the 8. I don't have a listing of numbers.

Here are a couple I found images of:

The FS-numbers.

Looks like the FS-303 is a match for your coin.
