There's a lot going on with this one including some nice toning, a die gouge, chips, a broken post, and even a small Grease Fill! The RIDB seems slightly progressed from the listing but that may just be due to that coin be circulated.

Excellent looking RIDB! it looks like the die piece was actually working its way out. pretty nice tiny BIE and a chip on the date.

Great looking coin in general

Seems like some ghosting on the rev too. Also, I'm not seeing a broken post--which letter or number has one? Thx.

Thanks uruman! - Yes, I did get a couple of these and may have found a couple unlisted BIE's as well (in other rolls).

Maybe I should say "breaking post" on the bulging 9. The 5 is filling up too.

I've always found that odd, some coins just like having their picture taken. I have fought certain coins to get a half decent shot and then had others I could do no wrong with....

This is the truth. I can't describe how difficult the 69-S fs-101 was to photograph. The find of a lifetime and I struggled for days to get a decent shot of it. The macros came out good but the full coin shots, specifically the obverse (of course) just didn't want to show off for the camera.
