Hello, wanted to share one of the most dramatic doubled dies I have seen. Both coins are 1873 open 3,
One coin is FS-1101, the other one is FS-1103. Sorry this forum doesn’t load pictures in order the way the way they get uploaded so I can’t say what order they will appear.
Hope you enjoy these as much as I do👍

    I occasionally look for these, and the FS-1101 is around though usually in awful condition, the one you posted, while circulated, is way nicer than most. The FS-1103 is not one I have found in the wild, it's a great coin and in great condition for a series that typically comes beat up and molested. Thanks for sharing.

    Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

    Very nice.
    You probably know there are several very similar 2c DDOs as well.

    I have been paying more attention to this series for this reason alone. Not sure what the demand for the dramatic errors is though.

    Some of the biggest spreads in all US Coins.
    Unsure why they're not more popular
