    I picked this coin up off the net for $8 looks like it could be possible match for CPG FS-10-1936s-11 or something else?

    I have wanted one of these for a few days now so I searched every 1936-s I came across 2 days ago thinking odds are I wont find one.

    Then I found this!:happy::happy::happy:


    :nailbiting::nailbiting:I took the risk for $8 and bought it but I will see in a few days if I was good to go... I will post higher resolution photos then...

    Mind you I am only going by these two little pictures and then blowing them up to see more details.

    appears to match the coin in CPG FS-10-1936s-11 very good from the two pictures I had to go by.

    This one appears to have extra 6 off the rim also but if you look at the other known specimens they have that also just not as pronounced.

    the bottom is comparing the coin in question to known PCGS one.

    Do you think its a possible match? Please Note: I am not posting this to debate whether the variety itself is or is not a over-date. Just having fun finding varieties....

    How does something like this happen? Im curious what caused this type of variety..

    Most likely it never did happen and is just die gouges but according to cpg during the great depression they rehubbed a 1929 to save money.

    I don't see how that could be die gouges.

    ldhair, I hope its not... I like to think of it as overdate but only anacs, pcgs and cpg

    but many specialists disagree either I find it to be extremely cool

    I like omm and overdates and alot of the time you post one to see if a match or for experts to look at for second opinion it turns into debate as to the variety it self lol.

    this happens a lot on s/d or d/s omm also..

    I knew that posting this would bring this up so I put right on the initial post

    I believe that you have the FS-110 variety. Congrats, these are fun coins.

    Last year, I bought and sold the highest graded PCGS example of this variety, a PCGS MS67FB. Here are a few pictures that I saved:

    Looks like a 1936 dime with machine doubling. All of the 1929 dies and hubs would have been destroyed at the end of 1929 or early 1930 at the latest. There is no way a 1929 hub or a 1929 die would have been hanging around six years later.

    illini420 wow that is a nice one... It may even be the one used a reference to go search for the variety in the first place.

    I have my doubts

    about the legitimacy of the variety

    That is one of the things that make it so interesting.
