Good Evening All,
I recently picked this coin up off eBay, because I could see some interesting die scratches on the obverse that matched the diagnostics to the 1934 DDO. The secondary date appears to be faint and difficult to see. I'd love some additional opinions on the coin and have provided pictures. I can certainly add additional ones if need be to verify the variety. I'm of course hoping it's all there, and thanks to everyone for their help!

BUT..... I do think it may be that variety!
The marker below the tie looks like the right spot but I'm not sure about the direction the top of the line veers.
Try getting pics of the lower 93 with different lighting to verify it.

That is true but if it's that variety it would be one of the highest graded of very few examples of a CPG listed variety that has demand and is worth big bucks so it would be a super find IF it matches.

If it really is FS-101 it is a $1k< coin.
<< <i>One of the diagnostics for this variety is a die break line between the R and U in TRUST on the obverse. Don't see it on yours. See variety vista for more info.. >>
I changed the lighting a bit which shows the die break line between the R and U better. Thanks all for the input.
What I do know is that if, with that much magnification, you still have to wonder about it it is not worth bothering with.
Sent it in and get it attributed.
The name is LEE!
Browe, This is James Wiles description of the variety. While not a prolific doubled die, it is a strange circumstance that caused the wide spread on the remnants of the date. With the die break between the R and U, looks like
you have found one. Yours appears to be very late die state, and may affect the value if you sell. I have handled 6 of these over the years, and they have all varied in strength of the remnants. Congratulations on a great find!
Below is the earliest die state that I have seen.
<< <i>Description: Very strong spread Northwest and slight rotation with light hubbing as extra center high points of the 93 of the date. It appears that the offset was significant enough that the pressman realized it before applying much pressure and reset the hub on the die for its final hubbing.

Thank you so much for your insight. In your opinion is this worth sending in. The secondary date is quite faint, do you think this will be attributed? I completely agree that this is a very late die state, but I do believe this to be the correct variety. Thank you!
