They're definitely not "lumping 102 and 103 together." Those two are separate varieties altogether. PCGS, for whatever reason, probably doesn't recognize 103 as it is the most minor. FS-102 (the old FS-033) is the most valuable with slightly stronger doubling than FS-101 (formerly FS-032.)

Mark, Check out COINFACTS for PCGS breakout. The most common variety is the FS101 which PCGS had called FS-032. That is the one I own. The other key variety is the FS102 which PCGS had called FS-033 and is more valuable because less have been certified. The FS103 which apparently is the one you have was identified by PCGS as FS-033.1. It is considered a sub variety and is apparently a third of what some variety Lincoln proof experts say are a total of five doubled die proof varieties of the 1971 series. Steve
Ahhhh...there it is I was looking under the straight DDO for the variety. That helps - thanks Steve!
After comparing the photos it is a 102 and not a 103 the doubling is much stronger. I would say it is for sure proof 68 red cameo. The fs 101 is also probably 68 red
Thanks for the help the Coneca write up was a bit misleading on this one - God i love coin facts.
Can someone post some links to some pictures and details on what I would be looking for? I need to go through my many 71 proof sets to look. I have at least two DCAMs I think but did not know what to look for as far as errors.

the 1971-s DDO FS 101 and 102 both graded pcgs proof 68 cameo RD.
They are for sale if anyone is interested PM me.
The fs 102 previous high was 66 cam (2 of them) and 1 66 DC
I also made a 1970-S DDO FS 102 LD/SD 66rd

The 101 is real nice but the 102 is wicked cool - love that doubling and technical quality

I was hoping to find a buyer or trade for one of the 1968S FS-101 than I have in CAM, but no takers.

I should be able to see these, especially with a loupe.
