The wider areas on the tops of the devices look more like contact marks.~~ I second checked this one and it is 1983 1c FS-102 Seeing them side by side helped me to see what was going on with this coin better, than staring at separate images: Here are the FS-101,102,103 side by side: This year is tricky, so I learned to double check before commenting..... Nice find. Edited by coop 03/04/2017 9:28 pm Report this Post to the Staff
tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6196 Posts	Posted 03/04/2017 12:27 am I am seeing a clear notch in the R of TRUST, a distortion of much of LIBERTY (similar to class 6 doubling on many wheat cents) and a club-shaped tail of the 3 along with distension of the lower right of the 8 Report this Post to the Staff
tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6196 Posts	Posted 03/04/2017 4:18 pm Thank you Coop! That is it. After looking over your post I went back to the VarietyVista photo page for stage-D FS-102. It took some lighting adjustments, but I was able to photograph the light die scratch between the 8 and the 3 of the date for further verification on this one. And the die cracks on the reverse aren't there because it notes and shows that the reverse die was changed before stage-D. It all comes together. Thanks so much to all who have helped me out on these difficult identifications. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/04/2017 9:28 pm That what we do. I check back to see what my decision was and if it needs checked out further, I do it. I guess sometimes I double check my self. The important thing is to get it right. Report this Post to the Staff
