    Posted once before. Some say it is definitely a FS-101, and some have been saying it is a "hit" or P.M.D. which I do not agree with. What do you think? It looks like the real deal to me...

    When you need arrows and circles or a scanning electron microscope to see it, I say forget it!

    I'm just horrible at taking pictures. Let me try to get you a full obverse shot...

    If sent in, I suspect it would be denied. A better microscope would help as the pixelation is not helping. IMO, Jim

    I don't think so. A doubled ear is easily spotted with the naked eye.

    Agreed. Kinda like this? Taken with my iPhone 11.

    Sorry but it just doesn't look like one to me.

    Haven't sent it in yet.

    I do truly believe it is a 88' FS-101 though. Need better pictures with a better camera than my cheap usb microscope...

    It is not the DDO-001. You are simply seeing what you want to see

    When I look at a 1955 Lincoln Cent long enough, it actually turns into a Doubled Die!.. Can you believe that? icon_smile_roflmao.gif

    When I look at this coin I see a 3 over a 2 in the date. The problem I have is I see it in a second and it is the overdate variety.

    You posted once prior? Once prior here on this site? What would make you think you’d get a response other than the one you already got?

    You don’t believe the opinion you were given, why ask again?

    The only way to settle it is to send it off to the graders but, would you even believe them if they disagreed with you?
