DOCC Pillar of the Community United States 1502 Posts	Posted 07/18/2024 8:49 pm Dirt find, fairly confident it would straight grade and might even squeak into XF. That said, VV lists FS-504 as extremely rare (?) however sales figures seem to suggest otherwise. I don't think an ANACS spend for attribution is even worth it. 99% on attribution call - would appreciate confirmation. And a flipped image I swing a metal detector and have a knack for finding dirty old coins.

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6512 Posts	Posted 07/18/2024 9:04 pm That looks like the correct (normal) orientation to me. The flat termination is on the bottom. Lower S curve is a keyhole. Top S inner curve is a square cut with a triangular notch cut into the body. Thinnest part connects the top S curve to the knob S. The top termination is enlongated relative to the bottom termination, and has a rounded end. What I believe to be an FS-504 inverted knob-S mint mark: http://goccf.com/t/466111&SearchTerms=Fs-504,dime Edited by Brandmeister 07/18/2024 9:07 pm Report this Post to the Staff
DOCC Pillar of the Community United States 1502 Posts	Posted 07/18/2024 9:17 pm Dang Nabbit - I didn't drill into the VV link, I just looked at the MM shown to the left and assumed that was it. Thanks BM To my old half-blind eyes, the normal MM looks like the inverted on - wider on top than the bottom. I swing a metal detector and have a knack for finding dirty old coins.
