    Great find.... I believe you are deserving the famous "You Suck" award handed out across the street....

    For those not familiar with the term, its meant as a sarcastic compliment :)

    It's been published online, though they have asked me to send them the coin so they can get the super close-ups that they need for better documentation. Here is the main page for this excellent free online resource. My coin is listed as the FS-013 very late die state.

    This is why I take ebay pics into Photoshop and enlarge them. I can (just barely) see the overdate, but your pictures leave no doubt whatsoever--great find! :D
