    Hey all - found this guy searching some rolls of pennies this evening. I'm far from an expert, but it appears to be a no "FG" variety, FS-901. Thoughts?

    Hopefully the third picture is detailed enough - it's my first attempt at shooting through my new 10x loupe. Thanks in advance for your input!

    Being as the "FG" is faint but clear in both photos, I'll go with no.

    I would also say that no, this one would not qualify as a "no FG".

    This is an example from the PCGS CoinFacts database - even though it is a "no FG," the spot where the "FG" would be still has some faint raising - if I recall correctly, I think the source of the variety was believed to be a grease glob on the die, so the lettering didn't transfer completely.

    I don't know - the more I look at the coin itself, the more I see. Bah. The high was good while it lasted... :)

    How much would this coin be worth if it was a no FG ?

    I could see a $10-15 coin in that condition if it was a no FG. I have sold ones in that condition in that range.
