Nice FS-102, Die stage A.
XF/AU grade probably $10 to $30 at the most. Depends on the buyer.
This one sold for a little over a $100 10 years ago.
only two have been auctioned. Everyone is after the FS-101

 

PS your coin is a Variety, not an Error.

 

Because it can be called a Variety does not mean it is not longer an Error.
The reason it is an variety is because an error was made in the manufacturing of it.
Unlike the 1943 steel cent which is also a variety, but manufactured with intent and purpose.

 

@alurid AAAH! the good ole fashioned debate of error VS variety.

A Variety happens in the die making process, an Error happens in the striking process. These are two different things, and why we call one a variety and the other an error.

 

Thanks here to learn as well

 

Nice find.
