I found this Walker to be interesting.

I believe it to be DDO FS-101. (PCGS book value in MS66 is $5000)

It also has what looks to be a LAM on the obverse, from the bottom of the sun to the date.

It looks to have an obvious struck-through on the head, with other (2/3) possible struck-throughs errors on the obverse.

I just wanted to share this coin, all comments/opinions welcomed!

I don't believe this is FS-101. The doubling on the fold of the flag is not nearly as strong as FS-101.

It does not seem to match either of the two listed DDOs. https://www.doubleddie.com/1213140.html

I had one with less damage than this that PCGS gave an MS65. It still sold for about 3k, but I wish these companies were legitimate with verifiable standards. That day is coming.

I finally got the chance to sit down and study the coin well, It appears that you are correct on the coin not being FS-101, or the other double die. It does look to be a double die though.

I have a raw FS-101 in AU/UNC. The easiest way to spot the difference between the two coins was the doubling on the second leaf going up the left arm. That will help me with this variety in the future.

Thank you so much for taking the time to point that out!
