Sorry, this is the first time that I've posted something like this, but I'm excited and need to share the news. Anyone here familiar with FS035? I just picked one up and can't wait for it to arrive! Honestly, I have no idea what this is worth, but who cares. I have not seen this particular variety offered in quite some time. So, when I saw one become available, I made an offer. My offer was accepted and I snagged it this morning.
If you are not familiar with this, the following is from the 2nd Edition of The Best of the Jefferson Nickel Double Die Varieties by Wexler and Ribar.
Description: Class II, Distorted Hub Doubling
Although always referred to as a "triple die", this variety is actually a quadrupled die. Four distinct images, especially on the serifs, can be seen on all letters of UNITED. Strong tripling can be seen on STATES OF AMERICA, FIVE CENTS and, to a lesser extent, on UNUM, MONTICELLO and the right side of the building. Significant doubling can be seen on E PLURIBUS. All spreads are toward the center, increasing from left to right."
Once this comes in, I will try to post some pics.
