    Looks like a minor doubled die to me? That's one fat 9:)

    To me, mintmark position seems a little off to be FS101. But I agree that is a pretty fat '9', and does seem to be some evidence of doubling on the underside of the '5'.

    Agreed. Looks like a little bit of "notching" going on.

    That's not it. Look at the mint mark placement on the real deal:

    It could be the pictures, however, I do not see doubling.... Or, it could be just my eyes... Cheers, RickO

    Mintmark position is different. It is not the "official" IDO-001. Your comparison pictures are a great help, DCW.

    Well, it is referenced from a great site which I failed to give credit:
    www.coppercoins.com

    It hasn't been updated in ages, but it is still a valuable resource
