After finding the 1942 DDO FS-101 and 1942 DDO FS-104 varieties, the DDO FS-103 seemed like a worthy pursuit as I now have a tub of nearly 700 1942-P Lincoln Cents.

Please see photos attached.

Strong due East spread of the eyelid is the linchpin here.

Faint but wide spread to the East on letters of the motto should clinch it. I've included photos of I, N, G, and T.

Not seeing the doubled eyelid or the faint spread in IGWT. I don't think you have FS-103. http://www.varietyvista.com/01a%20L...2PDDO006.htm

This is late die state. Take a look at Copper Coins late die state. Very similar.

The doubling is also much more subtle in late die state

Of course, I'm not set up to get the beautiful images that Copper Coins has.
But they're pretty close.
