    Well, I think this is the S over S variety, FS-401. The "crab claw" top serif of the S matches, but none of the other markers are there, possibly due to wear. I just can't tell, and I am wondering if a TPG could tell or not. These are the best and closest pic I can take with my camera. Calling on the experts for their opinions, though I am sure I am forgetting some folks. @TypeCoin971793 , @Insider , @Paddy54 , @physics-fan3.14 , etc.

    ALSO, what do you grade it?

    Whenever I see the outline of that horn, I think "VF" but the obverse is SO WEAK.

    If you check the die markers on Wexler the obv. Neck clash, and the Rev. Abrasion on the C left middle, you indeed have the WRPM 001

    The picture TypeCoin posted is from the coinfacts webpage.... so, it's good to know they got it right.

    Now, do you see the same markers on the coin c-b-d is asking about in the first post?

    The easiest way for me to tell is that the mintmark placement is much lower on my coin that the FS-501.
