This pleasant shock came my way at an antique store from one of the coin dealers there. Shocked they missed such a glaring (literally) DDO!  At first, I seriously thought this was the big DDO #1, until I looked at it closer and using variety vista saw it was the scarcer FS-102, but still not complaining one bit!  Dealer had a price tag of $10 on it... 1936 DDO FS-102, approximate grade by my eyes  as a 63-64 RB, and this was a challenge to photograph. Also a small foldover rim burr strike through at the very bottom of the obverse I thought was neat.

 Great DDO but why'd you pay so much?
