<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sunflower_Coins, post: 4925792, member: 92388&quot;]FS-301 is shown on the VarietyPlus catalog (although they only have one example certified). It&#039;s also in PCGS&#039;s website-they have 14 examples certified. I&#039;m not sure why there&#039;s a disparity.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I think I see the cross of the 4 exactly two denticles right of the second 8, but I&#039;m not sure. I&#039;m considering calling their customer service but I&#039;ll have to wait until tomorrow, and even then I don&#039;t really know what they can do for me. Until then I figure it makes good discussion.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Every example I&#039;ve looked at so far has Longacre doubling, but it seems most 1884 cents do. There are also examples that have die tooling in the shield on the reverse:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1185766[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>This example is from PCGS&#039;s FS-401 page. However, not every 1884 MPD I&#039;ve seen has it.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Also worth noting is that VarietyPlus attributes the MPD as FS-301 while the Cherrypicker&#039;s Guide (along with PCGS and ANACS) attributes it as FS-401. It probably doesn&#039;t even matter, but I thought I&#039;d leave it here.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
