    I don't think so as I don't see the the doubled leg or feathers but the pic isn't the best.

    true, but even at this state of wear there should be some details left.

    Linky to eBay listing.

    blew-up...sharpened
    still say not ddr die #1...the huge one
    some doubling in motto
    could be a die 2 or 3???

    not worth the price to me anyways

    die #1 is the hunt's end ...this does not look like die #1 at all

    i'm leaning towards it is not fs-801

    the camera and/or coin movement is creating a shadowing effect of the devices making it look like doubling

    if it is a ddr even if it isn't 801, i'd be pretty surprised

    I hope you didn't buy this, it is not the FS-801 DDR. There are a couple of places to see the doubling even in lousy pictures like that, Ill try to post a couple of pics of my own to the thread tomorrow to illustrate.

    No, I did not buy it. Looking maybe for one for my circ set, but will likely look for it already slabbed. Not a priority item. It wasn't listed as A DDR in the title, but was indicated on the 2 x 2.

    Blurry picture makes it hard to be certain, but I'm pretty sure it isn't a DDR.
    When in doubt, don't.

    Okay, I also saw the auction you're referring to and I came to the conclusion independently that it was not the DDR. Now this auction that I won last week is the opposite - a DDR that was not indicated on the holder. The attribution is pretty clear if you use the eBay zoom features, but I grabbed the smaller photo from the auction to ilustrate how to attribute these from small or blurry photos.

    When I'm trying to cherrypick this variety on eBay, the first place I look in any photo is the space just to the left of the longest wing feather (#1). Even in low grades you will see the doubling there, it looks like a raised line running along the left side of the feather. The left side of the legs (#2) and the trunk of the olive tree (#3) (sic - is that an olive tree?) are also good places to see the doubling, at least with a little practice. If I think I see doubling in those areas I'll try to confirm by looking at E PLURIBUS UNUM (#4). In low grades all of the letters in PLURIBUS will look tall except the P, and the holes in the letters (like the R and B) will be indistinct. You should also be able to see faint notching at the top of the L and the bottom right leg of the M in UNUM.

    I've picked maybe half a dozen examples of this variety off eBay in the last couple of years, in grades from fine to mint state. I'm practiced enough at spotting them in low grades that I seldom pay more than melt, I assume because nobody else was able to make the attribution. </humblebrag> image
