<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Puddin&#039;Farts, post: 3379629, member: 100439&quot;]Ok, I&#039;m going to do my best to get started on the differences that I have found, along with a few comparison photos for reference to the FS-901/RED-001. CONECA has the variety listed in their master listings. I have found very few photos of the coin, but it gets tricky within those couple photos. There are no sales through HA that I have found (maybe I&#039;m searching the wrong reference title?). The FS-901 variety in Coinfacts shows a population of 2 in MS64, one of which they use as a picture to demonstrate the variety. They also show 1 in AU55 population, which is also pictured. There are noticable differences between the two and these are the examples that I have found:</p><p>Left:AU55 Example</p><p>Right:MS64 Example[ATTACH=full]897310[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]897311[/ATTACH]These two coins, even with the same attribution, show very different diagnostics. It is rumored that the MS64 example has been misattributed by PCGS. Although that may be the case, the die is much more worn and would show better reason to re-engrave the die, but the AU55 shows more obvious issues within the Tailfeathers. The secons comparison is the same 2 coins, AU55 showing no Die Crack on the wing while the MS64 example shows a prominent crack running down the wing. The following photos are of my coin in comparison to the MS64 example on Coinfacts:[ATTACH=full]897312[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]897313[/ATTACH]</p><p>My coin shows the Misplaced D while the MS64 on Coinfacts does not. However, II believe that even in LDS state, either the MS64 on Coinfacts attribution has to be wrong, or it shows the Misplaced D as well and can&#039;t be seen in the pictures. </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; I will post better pictures of the die cracks on my coin tomorrow. There are 3: One running down the outside of the wing, one behind the eagles head, and one on the inside of the wing that may be struck through or cracked.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
