    Yes, this is FS-005.9! This DDR comes paired with 3 different obverses - this is the first one.
    One has a better chance of cherrypicking these since lots of people don't check the reverse for varieties.

    Gradewise, I'd vote VF.

    I was thinking VF as well. The stars jumped out at me the most.

    I'd go XF40, but lightly cleaned.

    Doubling on the T and D in UNITED?
    Also high VF, obverse looks grainy.

    There is some doubling on some letters, but the easiest way to see this variety is in the doubled stars below T (UNITED) A (STATES) and M (AMERICA).
