Thanks again everyone for the comments and additional confirmation.
I was hoping to have an update with the images of the coin in hand, but it still hasn't arrived. Maybe Monday?
I pegged it as DDO-001/FS101 after locating a few obvious and not so obvious markers.

...A key marker I always look for on this variety is on the B of LIBERTY. There is a pretty bold "blob" to the left of the top loop of the B that is present on every example I've had.
I picked up on that marker even though it wasn't as obvious as the reverse die crack on the eagle's right wing.
I like trying to find markers on the incuse elements of the die since they won't be polished away by die maintenance. And that's what that "blob" on the B looked like to me.

...I'd like to know if there is a reference site as to the value of errors/varieties
I believe there is but I don't have a link or name. (Something along the lines of "Coin error and variety values"?)

I'll post a close up below for you.
Fantastic image. Thank you. The doubling on the upper left on the bottom "T" of TRUST (shadows) isn't visible on the seller's image but was important on my initial assessment.

(Maybe I'll get a break on shipping? Not!)
I believe sellers that have clear images really deserve highlighting because, just maybe it will encourage others to follow suit ... to the benefit of all collectors. It does create more competition in the short run on their auctions, but I feel strongly about the need for clear images.
(Everyone, just stay away from "my" auction items.
)
This seller overall has clear images, but the light always seems to be from the top, so shadows sometimes obscure some crucial element.

Cool coin! That guy is generally pretty good at labeling varieties...
He's listing more lately. It seems like he's been adding the variety or error on more obvious ones. One time recently (maybe when you won your coins?) he listed multiple varieties (7-8) within the auction titles. The coins may have been labeled by the collector he purchased them from. (As many coins as he lists, he must have a decent setup with plenty of help to get stuff listed, imaged, packaged, labeled, and all the follow-up that selling entails.)
Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.
