MrBreeze Valued Member United States 357 Posts	Posted 04/03/2022 7:01 pm Picked this up at a flea market yesterday. It looks like the FS-101 to me. Your thoughts? It does have a die crack on the eagles right wing, a die crack at the bottom of the bust through the hair ribbon and a small one off the eagles head. Report this Post to the Staff

levelsofmadnes Pillar of the Community United States 3003 Posts	Posted 04/03/2022 7:33 pm does not look like FS-101 to me... i dont even see any doubling. SIDE NOTE: I went to a flea market in my area this weekend too... no coin booth. I guess they picked up and moved EDIT: variety vista pictures suck for this variety ...

Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 4404 Posts	Posted 04/03/2022 10:14 pm Not FS-101. I do not see any doubling here either. No separation, split serifs, or extra thickness. There is some disagreement on what die FS-101 actually is, VarietyVista's 'FS-101' looks completely different from the coin actually in the book. PCGS probably has it right though (which of a side note, the die crack visible in some of the TrueViews of FS-101 is completely different compared to OP's coin). Regardless, FS-101 is being removed from the CherryPickers Guide in the next edition so it doesn't really matter. Report this Post to the Staff
silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 04/03/2022 11:08 pm @TAN Thanks for your answer. I find very interesting. Also you confirmed me that the PCGS is with the Cherry Pickers Guide, not directly. You know the business is business and is go like this. Here in Canada, Charlton same. In fact those thinks will always be just references. Like some markers, which will be just references of a Die in time of strike. I have varieties which do not have no marker publish, why? because was other Die use, or maybe just re-polish, who know? Report this Post to the Staff
