Batting average has not been that good on my DDO identifying lately. I think this is a valid one and potentially the FS-101. The pictures are not the best, but I think they show the doubling. I am going to ask Santa for a better photo set up for Christmas. Thanks

The splits serifs, especially on the E, look pretty good - I'd agree, a minor DDO. Wonder if it is listed?

The doubling on the U and S of Trust is what led me to FS101 . Didn't see any others listed that had that same doubling on the S

Would the OP's coin be considered in MS condition?

Thanks all! The coin does have a slight " Ring of Death" from a rolling machine. Bummed about that!

I believe your half dollar is the 73D DDO-001, Stage B...note the Stage B has a light clash mark coming off the nose, reference the attached photo from the one in my collection. I can see it in your obverse photo, Wiles doesn't mention it on Variety Vista.
