    These exsist and are tough in high grade. I do not have a picture of mine yet. Here is one listed on Ebay in 64 Red #120109724625. the Cherry Pickers guide list a good example, also the Coppercoins web page.

    FYI, every example of FS-031 I've seen (I've owned three or four of them) has had a slightly misaligned obverse die. Look at Bill's picture above and you'll see how much thicker the rim is from K-3 to K-5. I've seen many misattributed coins purporting to be FS-031 on eBay and the misaligned die is a very obvious and reliable diagnostic.

    Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

  • Hi Sean,

    Thanks for that addition.

    Have Fun,
