1938 FS106 DDO Jefferson Nickel (with pictures)

Aspie_Rocco

I recently picked this DDO in PCGS MS65FS and it is now waiting for go back to our host for official attribution. I am looking forward to my next submission as it has been a few years and I have quite a few varieties piled up waiting. I had my phone camera replaced today so now I can share pictures!

The FS106 has a doubled profile and lettering for pick up points. This is similar to the 1942 DDO FS102. Both could easily be mistaken for late die stage erosion or strike doubling of the profile, however, both are genuine doubled dies.

Note that letters of Liberty look close to those of the QDO for this same year and mint. In the past I have seen the 106 misattributed as the QDO, yet the 106 does not have the die gouge to the left of the L In Liberty.
