I got some expert help with the last one I posted and am hopeful that calling on the experts once again will get the correct attribute here. This is the first of two similar coins, which to me look like different DDO's based on what I can figure out, but really not sure. 1857 Flying Eagle cent doubled die - help needed to attribute - coin 1 Report this Post to the Staff

QuarterHoarder72 Pillar of the Community United States 2156 Posts	Posted 03/07/2020 11:41 am Looks like an FS-102 to me. Eye doubling goes straight down, there is a small portion of doubling on the left side of the N the matches FS-102, and there isn't the extra T part that is on the FS-105 on this one. So, in my opinion, this matches nicely to FS-102. Edited by QuarterHoarder72 03/07/2020 11:42 am Report this Post to the Staff
CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 03/07/2020 12:04 pm I vote FS-102. The doubling looks correct and the other "close" varieties don't match up for me. Here's why: FS-101 (usually) has a rim Cud above STATES that I do not see present here, along with the stronger doubling on UNITED. FS-103 has weaker doubling than yours, and an RPD, which I don't see either present on your coin. FS-104 is clearly not a match, look at doubling on UNITED. Direction of doubling is all wrong! FS-105 has stronger doubling, similar to FS-101, noticeable on UNITED which does not match to your coin. And for these reasons, I'm sticking with FS-102. I'm sure you know where to look, but just for good measure, here is another helpful place to attribute the FEC DDOs: https://www.NGCcoin.com/variety-plu...1858/815310/ I hope I helped with some of the attribution and understanding of why. Very nice find and a nice doubled die! Well done Tropicalbats! -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Edited by CoinHunter27 03/07/2020 12:12 pm Report this Post to the Staff
