disclosure: the blurriness is from my laziness and not your bourbon; unless it is so blurry you are seeing a toned washington proof superbird re-engraved deep cameo 69!

then, it just may be your imbibdedness. lol

i'll drink to that too

tincup · September 27, 2015 10:31AM

Nice notching on the 4 in the date. Anything else doubled?

tincup · September 27, 2015 10:32AM

Is that a 'ghosting' of another '1' on the right of the '1' in the date? Or perhaps a photo effect...

fcloud · September 27, 2015 10:38AM

1945 DDO FS-101 Congratulations! That small image says it all, Lance!

the long line is prob a die polishing/gouge line.

yes. the Y in liberty it appears. some central devices, designer's initials. odd pivot point. imo

seems to be doubled northeast at about 40-60° angle, not distance/spread.

fcloud is the first person to get this correct.
Well done. Congrats! The current Population at PCGS is 1 example in AU58 and 1 example in MS66....that's it.

It is a tough coin! You should send it to Great Collections, have them send it to PCGS for grading and attribution and then
start the bidding at $1. It should turn into a major home run for you! Congrats!

lasvegasteddy · September 27, 2015 11:01AM

congrats there lance
any guess on a value ?

BustHalfBrian · September 27, 2015 11:02AM

Looks like a DDO to me. Congrats.

Christos · September 27, 2015 11:08AM

Very nice find and always looking but never finding myself. Ha thats funny the way I wrote that as I can't find myself so if you should see me could you tell me as I seem to be lost.

keyman64 · September 27, 2015 11:12AM

<< congrats there lance

Since there are only two in the PCGS pops, there are a lot of people that need this coin.
If it grades Mint State, the bidding would be quite strong I imagine. It could go $500+ or more likely cross the $1K+ realm.
If it is AU58 then it could be a dud of $100...or a few hundred....depends on who shows up for the auction.

Great Collections has always done FANTASTIC for me with my Mercury Dime varieties.

winky · September 27, 2015 11:29AM

I voted strike but who knows.

ricko · September 27, 2015 10:04PM

Really nice find.... congratulations...Cheers, RickO

Your poll should have an option for both Doubled Die and Strike doubling.... because your coin has both

Treashunt · September 27, 2015 11:11PM

MD until I saw the close up.

True DDO

messydesk · September 27, 2015 11:17PM

<< Your poll should have an option for both Doubled Die and Strike doubling.... because your coin has both >>

I was debating this as well. The full-coin picture seems to show strike doubling on the date and a few letters on the reverse. The close-up of the date, however, shows that it looks more like early die fatigue "doubling."

LanceNewmanOCC · September 28, 2015 12:36AM

you are right, that option should have been and will be added, albeit belated.

the strike doubling appearance is a photographic artifact (in this case) which is a common occurrence, especially proof images (although strike doubling occurs on proofs).

<< Is that a 'ghosting' of another '1' on the right of the '1' in the date? Or perhaps a photo effect... >>

here you can see this line is a probable diagnostic, possibly dependent upon die state.

a new ms64 in the pops. wonder if it is mine?

.

Treashunt · November 14, 2015 3:22AM

clearly a DDO.

with a bit of MD.

georgiacop50 · November 14, 2015 3:30AM

Sweet! Another pop1 bites the dust!

Like the 54 Franklin Proof DDO which went from pop1 to pop2 this month and soon to be a pop3.

Also the 52 Franklin Proof Bugs Bunny lost its pop1 status this month.

winky · November 14, 2015 10:33PM

Forget it I can't post.

winky · November 14, 2015 10:33PM

One more try--strike doubling.

mercurydimeguy · November 14, 2015 11:18PM

Definitely a DDO.

Nice. By the rarity it probably is!

DCW · November 15, 2015 6:39AM

This is very clearly a doubled die, and it has already been established by some of the mercury dime collectors on this board to be FS-101. As for grade, I initially thought MS. Having a good look at the pics, I believe it to be an AU58 slider. But, pics can be deceiving. Good luck

i wonder how long this evil mimic (beware MAX image) will remain in the pops and the coinfacts page?

My guess is they will not take it down. There is a similar problem with the 1942-S Inverted S. They have a non-variety listed as and MS65FB. That coin was pulled from an HA auction and the coin remains in the POP reports.

when i first saw the coin i looked at the au58 coinfacts example and thought i had the wrong coin. thankfully there was the ms66 knockout coin. what a beaut.

I know. Dimeman's 1945 DDO (not DDO) in that image had me searching for a coin like the one in that image. I'm glad I didn't find it. Now I need to find one like yours.

LanceNewmanOCC · November 15, 2015 10:04AM

Now I need to find one like yours.

i will cross my fingers you don't find an ms66fbl.

.

fcloud · November 16, 2015 9:38AM

I'd be happy with a genuine at this point.

keyman64 · November 16, 2015 9:53AM

I found the ONLY KNOWN mint state example of the 1941 DDO FS-101 (MS-65) so

I will keep up the hunt on this one as well. I'll find one eventually.

Good luck, Greg! Like you said a matter of time...
