I had a Franklin half in an informational plastic holder years ago. The plastic had circular magnifying lines for both sides of the coin. It...

Very nice find! 1939 DDR-001/ FS-801: http://varietyvista.com/04a%20JN%20DD%20Vol%201/DDR%20Detail%20Pages/1939PDDR001.htm Congrats!!

Nice. Looks like a RPM-003. If it is it will also be a DDR-002. http://varietyvista.com/09b%20WQ%20Vol%202/RPM%20Detail%20Pages/1945SRPM003.htm
