I am not seeing the notching or extra thickness.. I think what you are seeing is the result of a gassy planchet and plating issues.
I would like you to take a look at this reference. All 88' and 88D cents have a Wide AM the key to the FS-901 is the flared D. And that is not...
I believe I might have a variety or two. But I don't believe I have any errors.
My vote would be NO, but that isn't in your poll.
I see an altered coin with damage. It may not have been made to deceive but, it would deceive a new collector for sure.
It may look like the doubling on Wddr-001 but it doesn't have the same thickness. Does it have any of the other characteristics? Die markers? This...

What aren't they all professional authenticators on You tube?:yack:o_O
Some 40% silver half's show more cladding than others. Still the 71 you have shows way too much. It is clad. You can check it for the DDO obv. the...
It's the same as the answers you got last night in the previous thread. the details of your coin don't come close to what an SMS coin looks like....
Is everyone pompous that doesn't agree that the coin is RB? I am having a hard time seeing enough original red in the coin. I see a 64 but there...
IMO this could be either from the photos given. A plating blister will be hollow underneath the copper plating. A die crack will be solid. But it...
Do you have full size photos of the entire reverse?
I would start with researching to see if these coins were overstruck on a pervious coin. I don't if that was the case. But possibly a good strart.
The mint did make a few SMS sets you can find more information here. Please read below each different auction result it will tell you more about...
