There seems to be some disagreement regarding the presence of an FS-301 or not for this coin. Firstly, I would like to get that resolved. Next, the cartwheel is present but there are definitely some fine line scratches present mostly on the obverse. Would these conditions detail it as cleaned or keep it from getting at least a 60? I'm asking this to both the grading forum as well as this one to get several opinions...

The grading thread for this coin should give you some additional information to assist with your evaluation: Quote:https://www.coin community.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=336943&

The link previously posted to the grading thread is inactive for some unknown reason. If viewers wish to visit the grading thread, go to this upgraded URL: But more importantly especially for this variety section I also wanted to see some new opinions on the presence or not of a 1903/1903. Let me know what's up using these photos.

CoinFacts' photo for the FS-301 variety has dirt all around the date of the display coin making it difficult to see the overdate. NGC Variety Plus states that the doubling for this same variety is most apparent on the '1`. Here's another full date shot showing some apparent doubling around the '3' and possibly the '1':

Here is a PCGS Example:  Their recommended price is $300. So I figure they are high. They call it AU50. Which I feel they are over reaching for that graded. https://www.PCGS.com/cert/27653092Your coin looks like a different die than they list.

https://www.PCGS.com/certcert. # 47462267 If this coin is not an FS-301 where would I go to have this RPD attributed? It did make a 58 though.

Here is the CoinFacts example FS-301 with the dirt making it hard to see anything:

If you compare the date position on your coin to the PCGS example, they don't appear to be from the same die. What PCGS is calling FS-301 has a much higher placed 3. It could be an unlisted RPD. If so I am not sure how you would go about asking for it to be listed as a new variety.
