I feel like this may be an early stage A 1909 VDB FS 1102. Coop, would you be able to determine with those close up comparisons you have done in the recent past for me and this variety?

I don't think it's a match. The die polishing lines are difficult to make out in your pics but, they appear to be running a different direction than on the FS-1102. The leg of the first 9 doesn't look the same, either.

Update:
Turns out this is what I thought I saw under the loup. Stage A is very hard to see and the devices are much harder to see. However, under magnification you can def start to see the spread and the lines in the date that you see in later stages. Her are some pics!

Good thing that one has a label on it, as even with your fantastic photos it doesn't look like FS-1102. Vertical bar of the E in LIBERTY is not significantly wider than the cross bars, no notch on the 1, no thickening of the first 9 or 0... Looks more like WDDO-003 if it's got any doubling going on. Guessing there is something on there that isn't in the photos but verified it to everyone's satisfaction. Darn good eye to place that one at FS-1102!

I think you caught PCGS sleeping...no way that is the FS-1102. The die markers are on the right place but no doubling

I agree. That is not the real deal on this one:
1909-VDB-Lincoln-Stage-A-FS-1102?
Note the zero on the date on the 1102? There is a copy cat one that has die chips on the same devices, but it is not the DDO-002
1909-VDB-Lincoln-Stage-A-FS-1102?
The 'R' on LIBERTY and the '0' on the dates are different. not from the same dies.
Here is the correct one on PCGS:
1909-VDB-Lincoln-Stage-A-FS-1102?

Here is the copy cat one on PCGS:
1909-VDB-Lincoln-Stage-A-FS-1102?
I guess they don't know what they are doing there?
