Finally got around to looking for one of these and lucked out!
Not the best example but it came out of a roll I pulled from mint sets abnd had set aside.

I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

If above, then you have the 1973-D DDO-003. If below, then you have the 1973-D DDO-004. The variety that PCGS recongizes as the FS-101 is the 1973-D DDO-001.

The DDO is usually much, much more evident.
Lets see what Russ says.

19Lyds,
I'm not sure if the "Dang!" comment is happy or sad. But it looks like the DDO-003 and Dr. Wile's book list it as a URS-2, a lot rarer then the 1973D DDO-001 which is listed in the Cherrypickers' guide as a URS-6. I would be happy as pigs in you know what!
Edited to add: Great find!!!!
It is more of a light spread. The coin itself might grade a 63 on a good day with the wind at its back.

I finally found the one in the Cherrypicker's Guide. I didn't know about this one.
Now I'll half to go looking for it....

I would suggest you find a copy of James Wiles book, "The Kennedy Half Dollar Book, An Attribution and Pricing Guide" if you want to see more varieties then are listed in the Cherrypickers' Guide.
DDO's, DDR's, Major, minor it doesn't really matter. What matters is realizing that there are so many different and unique varieties out there!
If I get a chance, I'll pickup the Wiles book just to get familiar with what is out there. After all, if you don't know what to look for, how will you ever know you found it?
Unless its a super wide spread DDO or DDR it's just not enough to know you have one. Its important to know which one you have.

I guess I know what to put on my Christmas list.
