I have turned this coin left, right, and upside down for a few days, but I can't reach a conclusion from the ebay pictures. Is this FS-101 or not? It's hard to tell because sometimes angled slopes on devices can look flat and doubled in images. Proofs are also hard (for me anyway) because the fields can reflect devices.

The S in Trust has those characteristic curves. The U has a thick, inward sloping bottom. But is the R serif split, or is the top of the letter just angled downwards towards the rim a touch? The metal in the R eye looks like the doubled version, as does the D in God. The variety sites don't mention it, but in the PCGS references, I believe the 53 is also thickened when compared to the ordinary versions. But the CPG entry for FS-101 focuses on the doubling atop the letters and the knob of the G. Those are slightly out of focus in these pics.

I leave this one to the pros.

Not seeing it either. Maybe ask for better images, as Dearborn said.
