Moosieweed88 Valued Member United States 135 Posts	Posted 01/20/2022 7:33 pm I picked up a bunch of proof sets and inspected every coin and found a few things. This looks like it might be the small date over large date but I need an expert opinion. Report this Post to the Staff

Moosieweed88 Valued Member United States 135 Posts	Posted 01/20/2022 7:42 pm My mistake this is a Philadelphia mint set, sorry about the picture quality my loop is pretty scratched up and the coin is still in its OGP. Report this Post to the Staff
-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8764 Posts	Posted 01/20/2022 7:46 pm Looks to be FS-101 but very confused by the pics. Are we looking at more than one coin? After looking again, it would appear to be FS-101 that also has MD. Still confused with the pics though.... -makecents- Edited by -makecents- 01/20/2022 7:53 pm Report this Post to the Staff

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8764 Posts	Posted 01/20/2022 9:26 pm Excellent find on this variety! Here is what I was referring to with the variety, plus MD. Don't know if this is a positive or negative though. The arrows are pointing to the MD. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 96579 Posts	Posted 01/21/2022 06:48 am So, how can a large date over a small date even occur? I mean wouldn't the operator have to be involved to make such an 'error'? The coin would have to be struck once with 'this die' then again with 'that die'? Collecting since 1972.
